Details:

The main Bibledit window is wider and taller than it needs to be by default.
And when one closes the program and starts it again, BE does not remember the
last size of this window. It always starts partially covering one of my other
windows.

For width, this window should have a default size that ends just after the
Help menu item.

For height, the window needs to be no taller than is necessary to show the
formatting sign for the current cursor location.

However, I would like to suggest another use for this window that would add
to its size and vastly improve usability. It would be nice of this window
could be used as a window manager, showing the different BE windows. That way,
if one of the windows was covered, or on another desktop, one could click on
its name (if windows are listed) or icon (if using graphic buttons) and that
window would be brought forward. (The desktop would switch also if the window
was on another one from the main BE window. Perhaps then it would be good that
the BE main window be "sticky," always on any active desktop that has a BE
text window.)

There is an update to patch 3052 (btlogs2.patch) which should solve this bug.
