Greetings!  
Just installed Processing 3.5.3 on a PC running Windows. No matter which sketch I run, including empty with no commands, the Run option always gives a sketch/display window the size of the entire display (not Presentation mode). I have to click “Close” on top left on sketch to close it.

Any help so I can only get a sketch window of the size I specify in size()?

Thank you.

Deepak.

So, this may be something quirky with my desktop. I tried it on other machines in our labs and all seems to be working fine.  
I even “installed” it on a thumbdrive but when I run it on my desktop I get the weird behavior described above. Same install on another machine works just as advertised.

BTW, An older install of processing 2 on the same desktop works just fine.

If someone has a clue, would appreciate.

Best,

Deepak.

short idea:

- -a- update graphic card driver
- -b- delete processing system dir  
for windows its c:\Users\ \< USER \> \AppData\Roaming\Processing\
- -c- re download / unzip processing IDE 3.5.3 WINDOWS 64Bit for Win 10

Great! It works for me. Cause I changed the user folder name manually.[doge]
