Gnome-settings window starts maximized

After update to version 42 the gnome control-center window always starts in a maximized state. Is it possible to revert this behavior to what it was in the previous version (41)?

Oh, it is even worse. I tested it on another computer with a big screen and it turns out that each time I open gnome-settings window it becomes bigger, which explains why on the smaller laptop screen it appeared maximized.

I cannot replicate.  If you run gnome-control-center from a console, what are the messages in the console?

There are no messages when/after I start gnome-control-center from the console. I use Xorg, not wayland, though.

I have exactly the same behaviour with the addition that on my two monitors the gnome-control-center also seems to open randomly on different monitors and not always gets bigger after i sized it down but will eventually after a few tries.

EDIT:
Found those issues https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-co … ssues/1752 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-co … ssues/1750 and some more that all lead to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4136

Same here, sometimes it opens maximized, sometimes not - at any random screen and size. What it never does is what I would like it to do: open the same size and position as last time...
