Comment (by macca8):

 Thanks for responding. You are correct about the general behaviour (which
 lephilousophe confirmed as correct in #16254), but perhaps not the
 specific issue, for which I apologise for not being clear.

 Just to clarify, we're only dealing with automatic window resizing in
 windowed mode. Fullscreen is fine.

 The issue is about the Launcher adopting window resizing **that's unique
 to Myst 3**, which should **not** be used outside the game. In this case,
 I'm referring to the 853x480 window that's intentionally created by the
 widescreen mod under certain conditions.

 This is a significant change in behaviour since the 2.9.1 release (which
 doesn't have this issue), so may I suggest the following test:
 - set Myst 3 to launch in windowed mode with the widescreen mod enabled.
 - launch the game, then open the config file while the window is still
 open.
 - compare the last_window_W/H values to the actual window size.
 - return to the launcher, then review the config file's current settings.
 - repeat these steps with various window settings above or below the
 default 853x480, as necessary.

 Please repeat this test, first with the 2.9.1 release, then with any of
 the current builds.

 Hopefully, comparing past and present behaviour may give you a better
 understanding of how this issue may be resolved.

 By the way, my proposed fix is just a suggestion, not necessarily the
 correct solution.
