Analysis Board Resize

I'm sure it's been mentioned a hundred billion times by now, but is there some reason why the analysis board shares its size information with the normal game board?

It's clearly a problem since the analysis board has extra options under the board, so if the board is set to full screen, you have to continuously scroll down and up compare, or resize the board, which makes the game board smaller next time you boot up a game.

Isn't it just an issue of adding one more variable to the code?
I can't remember someone complaining about this.

For me, it would be highly irritating and annoying if the analysis board had a different size. I would absolutely hate it to have my board jump around, and having to resize it to match the other...

OTOH, I could imagine a (maybe even device-specific) setting for this... ("sync board sizes").
I guess your experience/workflow is different from mine. When I finish a game, I click "analysis" and get the computer analysis. But, since I generally play with the board on maximum size, I then have to resize the analysis board to see the graph and the board at the same time. Then next game, I have to resize the board to maximum again. So every game I have to resize twice or do the analysis by scrolling up and down over and over.
