The save dialog box changes size each time.

The save dialog box after the update began to resize every time and partially go off the screen. Is this a bug, or how can I fix this problem?

Hello and welcome.

Which save dialog? From which program?

Also what version of Xfce are you using? Which distro?

This.
Almost all gtk programs call it, I don't know exactly what it is called.

That's the GtkFileChooser dialog.

Are you scaling your screen/output at all? If so, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/771.

If not, does manually setting a smaller dialog size help:

gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size '(w, h)'

...where "w" is a width value and "h" is a height value?
