I have a very specific studio layout that I use because I like it that way. Now every time I start up studio (since the “new and improved” start page update), my panel sizes are reset.

The layout studio forces me to use and fix every time I start it up: https://i.imgur.com/HGSrlJz.png
Happens every time no matter how I start studio (edit button, file open, using the shortcut, etc.).
Seriously…? Sorry to sound a bit crude, but this is practically the definition of a pet peeve on steroids.
It’s probably because the widget layouts save when Studio exits, but when you close a place the landing gets rid of all the widgets, leaving nothing to save when Studio closes.
