    Sonoma Screen Sharing Always Starting in Full Screen?

    The Sonoma screen sharing app seems to always start in full screen, no matter how I set the view or "scale to fit window" or if scaled or not, it just resets when I quit and restart. Anything I can do here or this intended behaviour rather than a bug? Thanks!
