It would be great if Pro remembered window placement and size according to the last position/size configured. For example, when I open the Options menu in the Pro project, the window always reverts to a default size and location. I have to then resize or position the window every time to my liking. This is frustrating enough with the Options window but even more frustrating with windows such as the Editor Settings window where I go back and forth to configure the Field Mapping setting. I have to adjust the position and resize every single time I open this window to see the entire field list and or expression.

I know there is currently functionality in Pro to remember attribute table location and configuration but a simple setting to allow this functionality with all windows/panes would go a long way.

@KoryKramerThanks Kory!!  I guess I didn't realize there were 3 pages of comments in this thread or I would've seen that it's 3.1.  I really am only having an issue with the width of the layer properties window.  I hope this is fixed in that version.  Have to get my IT dept to update us to 3.1 which should take about 6 months 🙄

@Michele 👍 Note that ArcGIS Pro 3.2 is scheduled to be available in late October/early November. If it takes so long to get an update installed, maybe make sure you get 3.2 installed? 🙂

@KoryKramer  I wish it was that easy.  For some reason we are always at least 6 months behind.  I have no idea why, but I won't see all of the great stuff I heard about at the UC coming in 3.2 at least until next spring. ☹️

Is there an idea or bug open to fully implement this, e.g. fix the problems associated with dual monitors? I constantly have boxes appearing on the wrong screen. Worse, when I go down to one screen, dialog boxes don't even appear fully on the screen, with the grabbable portion out of reach entirely. No combination of Win+arrow shortcuts get this thing to move. I'm unaware of any workaround, rendering portions of the software entirely unusable. How is this not an immediate priority?
