can't resize system preferences window

It sucks not being able to resize the System Preferences window.

Try looking at the Keyboard -> Shortcuts and try to figure out what the full text is.

Programs not covering the screen All of my programs open covering only about 80% of the screen. I know how to make them bigger but I want them to open that way. I'm not talking about full screen, I just want them to extend to the sides. 2018 MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.1

Background apps exiting OS X 12.5.1 (21G83) Usually the memory apps like Excel and iMovie: in the background, after awhile, they exit, and need restarted (and in the case of Excel, forget state). This is a recent change. I have plenty of memory (32GB) and don't even get close to running out (I watch the Activity Monitor). Is there some setting to stop this behavior?

Howdy,

Yes, I would like to be able to resize the System Preferences window as well.

But to see the full description of the options you see, hover over the item to see the Help Tag, aka Tooltip.
