P: Photoshop opens window too small when using external monitor

Version; 22.5.1

OS: Mac Big Sur (11.5)

Reproduce: Have a non-retina external monitor connected to a Retina Macbook as the main screen. Open a file. It will open at 100% but with the window sized smaller than the image.

Expected: Files used to open with the entire image visible within the window, so you don't have to resize the window, nor click the green mazimize button.

Seems this issue was introduced after version 22.4.3; See these two discussions for further explanation / confirmation of the problem:

Video, to explain the (mine) situation. "Impossible to get the opening on maximum available space... issue!" (PS 23.1.1).youtu.be 4nwl8r8YNJY

This started out of nowhere after updating to PS 2022 and is intensely frustrating. Every image that I open in PS displays as a cropped window, forcing me to hit command+ (which sizes to 200%) and then command- to get it to 100% at a proper window size. It's tedious and annoying - can anyone pinpoint what changed in the update to cause this?

Not sure what you mean by "Cropped Window". Zoomed at a fixed size? AFAIK, this has always worked this way, at least for me on Mac. Images open at differing zoom sizes based the resolution of your display and the document AFAIK.

Quick way to get to 100%: double click on Magnifier tool.
