 Replying to [comment:22 Thorin]:
 > @ monmire. The inner window is only resized when opening a **new**
 window (which includes when you start Tor Browser). **It is not
 dynamically resized as you add/remove/change chrome elements**

 density to compact and the inner windows is now `1000x1010`

 1000x1000 on a new window, but then what happens if the toolbar has no
 icons (it will change size, and your *fix* will break). And what about all
 the people who don't use compact theme. This is not a solution, sorry.

 of the toolbar, and this happens after the resizing is calculated on the
 creation of a new window. [[br]]

 This ticket addresses the issue on MacOS, not on Windows 7. I do not know
 a solution for TB 8.0.6 on Windows 7. Perhaps you could submit a new
 ticket addressing the issue on Windows 7. [[br]]

 On MacOS, after selecting /Compact setting and with
 View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar enabled, but with neither icons nor text
 appearing in the Bookmarks Toolbar beneath the URL bar, inner screen size
 remains `wide:1000 x high:1000`. [[br]]

 However, on MacOS, with /Compact setting and with View/Toolbars/Bookmarks
 Toolbar not enabled, inner screen size is `wide:1000 x high:1020. [[br]]

 On Mac OS platform, if a user prefers to enable /Bookmarks Toolbar with
 icons visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar beneath the URL Bar, /Compact
 appears to be a solution to achieve `wide:1000 x high:1000`. [[br]]

 In comment:14, gk closed the ticket as "closed defect (fixed)" because the
 issue on MacOS resolved itself (see comment:13). [[br]]

 In comment:21, I closed the ticket as "closed defect (fixed)" because
 /Compact resolved the issue on MacOS (not on Windows 7). [[br]]
