Toad for Oracle 15.1 doesn't remember the size/location of the Describe Objects dialog. It always opens close to full screen (not quite) and on top of the main Toad window.

Hi Ray, Thank you for reporting this. It is fixed in the current beta. -John

Yes, the newest is 16.0.25.something. Get it here. Toad for Oracle 16.0 Beta

Good morning John, I now have a support case, 02694586. We have tried a few things without success. I'm now on the latest version but the problem remained. Running only on the laptop screen, only external or both makes no difference. Is there any part of the logic behind "decide size of describe …

Ok, I'll communicate with you through the support case then.

Hi John, I Iinstalled 25.1 and same problem occured for me. This problem is occuring when the windows screen layout set %125. If the resolution set %100 everything works fine. But I used 16.3 version with same scaling (%125) without any problem. is it possible to check with this config.?
