 ''Please rewrite the title and metadata, it's not very clear as it's
 written right now.''

 ''Priority medium because the users affected by this are precisely the
 ones using non-standard configurations.''

 If the user maximizes Tor Browser while it's running, Tor Browser will
 display a warning recommending them to honor the default window size.

 Some window managers override this default size (like
 [https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/2504 Awesome], although
 they're looking at it) and Tor Browser can't detect this.

 It also doesn't warn the user if they resize the window manually. While
 this looks like a lesser risk, it's possible the user resizes it to
 approximately fill the screen, or uses a system outside of the window
 manager (and, through it, fools Tor Browser).
