I read all topics about this problem and tried all solutions. Some helped but only in specific scenarios they are no options for me. There was not mentioned (at least for me) REAL cause of this error so I am creating new topic. I hope it is more helpful...

All proposed default Ps workspaces have tools panels docked to left margin of screen. It is why they let you to open files in normal size. When you dock your Tools panel to right margin of screen all is okey too. Any panel, however docked or not to any other or margin does not make difference. All works still good. Problem occurs only when you undock your Tools panel from left/right margin of screen. If you move it few centimeters from left margin all is still fine, but always when you move it farer to right side of screen (and from up) an created/opened document will minimalize its size due to Tools panel distance from left screen margin. If additionally you dock your Tools panel to any other panel that is not docked to left/right margin of screen (but moved to specific location in your Ps workspace) error is going to occur while creating/opening document.

This is of course bug! The only I can do is to turn off Tools panel what is ridicolous solution or else dock it to right Ps screen margin what doesn't satisfy me too for reason It covers too much space along with other panels I keep as small as possible.

This is my first day with CC 19.1. So far i used CS6 for few years. From that I read prior CC versions doesn't have this bug yet.

Since I use specific panels location I can't work with this bug. I'm going to use CS6 until next CC update that fix this problem.

That's really funny first action, opening file I did in newest Ps after relocating panels (including Tools) ended up with error

    This should be fixed now in Photoshop CC 2018 (19.1.4). Crossing fingers that you still don't see it Marek. Let us know.

    thank you for this. it was driving me crazy. i am finding that none of the adobe "workspace" schemes really work. they always come back crazy and its been an issue for a long time.  how hard could it be to program a set of tool configurations that are stable?

    Are we ever going to see an update that fixes this problem?  Between the "not enough room" issue and images opening at 1-3% in size, etc., this has been extremely annoying and a detriment to my productivity.  Yes, there are work arounds, but I want my preferred workspace back.  Dammit, Adobe, do something!

    No matter where I have the tools palette, the image opens at 50%, not 100% even though there is ample space for it (all of my other palettes are open on my MacBook, main screen is the external 27"). Thanks Kukurykus​ for trying to help, but it's still not working.

    I think you didn't understand my post or there is some other problem in your case. So let me explain what I suppose you're doing wrong what I'm seeying from your posted images.

    All Tools bar positions (beside last picture as I don't see it there at all) are NOT docked to right / left margin of Ps workspace.

    For ex. on 1st and 2nd image you keep Tools bar on left side, but they are not docked to that side, just put as close as could.

    Dock them to left margin and problem should be gone. Of course that is solution for people who don't mind their Tools are docked to left / right margin, but not if somone like in all previous photoshop versions put it anywhere on screen undocked.

    No, the first two photos it is docked. I dragged the tools palette to the edge of the screen, the edge of the screen turns blue and "docks". I don't know what the problem is.

    I use Windows 10, but I guess it's problem of Mac's too. Size of Image Window depends on "Tools" bar location. It's worth of adding that when you additionally choose 'Fit to Screen' from 'View' option it's going to move window to bottom of screen. Ah my topic There isn't enough room to display this document. | Photoshop Family Customer Community got InProgress status however not answered by any moderator, but still the more users leave there feedback we have more chance Adobe will do something with, especially that other topics from last several days weren't honored by in-progress status

    farer to right side of screen (and from up) an created/opened document will minimalize its size due to Tools panel distance from left screen margin.

    Is that the Left or Right side of screen the tool bar is dock too.  That if I undock the tool bar leave if floating and move it up and to the right side of my display .  If I then open a file or a new document that it will open a minimal size because of the location of my Tool bar.  Are you using a Mac.  I do not see that happening on my windows system.  I would write it could have been opened in a larger window then it was opened in. I would not write the windows was mineralize. It is strange as how the size it does open as changes very strangle depending on where the tool bar is positions. Seems to change randomly

    That's actually no matter where tools bar is on screen. When it's undoced and enough moved from left or any distance from right then opened/created document will be automatically smaller than used to be. Additionally when you move toolbar to bottom of screen an error message is going to pop up.
