A minor annoyance, but client defaults to a small screen with truncated entries.
I used to be able to manually widen screen so client was full width and 1/3 high, and exit, and then reload clent and it would then stay that size always.

It does not do this anymore.

Anyone else notice this?

Any Workarounds?

Thank you

This was fixed with the newer BOINC versions. 5.10. In the moment 5.10.21 is the recommended version for Linux.

If you're running KDE, a right-click|Advanced on the title bar provides a menu which will allow the screen size/position to be fixed. (Special Window Settings/Special Application Settings)
Of course a corrected BOINC is better, but this should work as a fall-back.
To err is human; to moo, bovine.
