I have an 1920x1200 screen.  I never run any app full screen as that
just wastes space.  I typically run my browser around 1024x800-ish.
The initial compose window opens the size I expect (828x683), but
then tries to fill the screen from top to bottom (I run the start bar
at the side, so it doesn't quite make it to the bottom) and is now a
compose window of 828x1150.

It is probably all by design, but I'm not a fan of the design.
