I have similar but different problems.  Perhaps we could share a solution.

 

My workspace is different from typical because of how my screens are arranged and to minimize distance I travel when moving from other screens into the OIP. OIP is on the left and navigation is underneath it because Navigation is most useful to me when it is the same width I want to keep the OIP. They hold position and width as I expect, but they are also bot at the default 1/2 screen height.  If I were to change  their heights, I might find that they revert spontaneously to a default 1/2 height.

 

My toolsets are on the right.  Basic in the top right, the assorted toolboxes immediately below and Attributes underneath, with the Attributes height reduced to the minimum that it will allow, Basic stretched until I can see all the tools, and the assorted toolboxes set between with all the remaining space to minimize need for scrolling within any given toolbox.  Regardless of how many times I save this position, the Object Attributes reverts to being 1/2 of the height available every time i reopen Vectorworks, squashing the other toolboxes to where I need to scroll to find anything. This leaves dead space at the bottom of the screen because there is only so much info that the Object Attributes can display. The state it reverts to necessitates scrollbars that just take up more real estate, and it leaves 3 inches of unused space at the bottom of Object Attributes.

 

How it usually looks  vs how I want it to look:

 

 

Also my resource manager is pinned under the ribbon.  Upon restart it collapses the folder navigation part of the screen on the left until it virtually disappears, and squeezes the open folder to a narrow sliver. I end up with a giant space for a little thumbnail of my resources and I need to rearrange the screen to find any other resource I am looking for.

 

Similar problem with the text size drop down.  I usually stretch it to where I don't need to scroll anymore at the beginning of a session, but it seems to revert to showing 4 rows when I restart.

I have had this same thing happening with attributes in 2024. Always when you open program attributes has taken space from tools. 2025 seems to have corrected that feature.

I have same thing happening with attributes panel and tools in version 2025 as in previous versions.

Tools setup like this,

, collapses to this when program is closed and opened again.

It is frustrating to rearrange tools after every restart.
