After 30 min, system suspends. I come back to phpStorm still on screen, but its sub-window is 1/3 off screen at upper left. I can't move or close it, so I end up having to kill the phpStorm job. Is this a setup error on my part, a problem with GNOME, or Wyland?

Hi and welcome.
Firstly I am no coder but with regards your last comment I would see if using xorg instead of Wayland improves things or otherwise.
At login screen, select tour username and a cog appears lower right of screen. Click on that and select Zorin on xorg.
Do you have enabled fractional scaling? If yes, you could also test if it works when you disable it.
Forpli, thank you for the suggestions... I am running at 200%, but not fractional. Appreciate the input.
Hello swarfendor, I finally checked Setting->System->SystemDetails and found that my new system is running x11.
Using SDB_SESSION_TYPE also shows x11.
Using ps -e into grep, I get mutter-xll-fram
So I guess Wyland is not the problem... I just "assumed" I might be running Wyland since I've heard there were issues! ?
Thank for your time and assistance!
Welcome to the Forum!
Is it intended to go in Suspend? If not, take a Look on Settings>Energy and Settings>Privacy>Screen Lock how the Times are set up.
Hello Ponce-De-Leon,
Yes I'm happy to let it suspend, just don't like the sub-windows moving. I think is has something to do with the zoom of 200% to get text to be legible. I "think" maybe upon wake up, the zoom is applied to late?
Anyway, for now, I just don't leave sub-windows open, or even minimize all windows when I walk away. If it continues to be a problem, I will turn off the suspend.
Thanks for your input and assistance.
Does behave the same when it goes automatically in Suspend and when You manually set it in Suspend?
Hello Ponce-De-Leon,
Yes it does... something new I've noticed... when i sit and watch the system time out to blank the screen at 15 mins, once in awhile the screen flashes on again, and it shows the full background, with another upper left version of the screen in 1/2 size! My hi-res 32" monitor is unreadable at normal zoom... so I'm going to try using 100% with larger fonts instead of using the zoom feature.
You don't have Fractional Scaling in Settings>Display active or do You?
Hello Ponce-De-Leon,
No, I was using 200% since I could hardly read the tiny characters on my new large monitor. But I'm now running the standard 100% and changed the GNOME font settings in Zorin Appearance to size 13.
But, of course, Firefox is not affected by the Zorin Appearance settings. I was changing Firefox zoom to 150% but I had to do that for every new tab! I have now set the Firefox font size to 16 and a minimum size of 16. This makes it usable except Firefox still has extremely small icons for minimize, maximize, close. The entire menu, tabs section is not affected by the font settings in GNOME or Firefox.
But my system is usable... I also see that after suspend, all the windows reopen in their original position, except Firefox. It always reopens at the far upper-left of the screen. The GNOME windows work as expected.
Thanks again for your assistance,
