Size missing from display settings

The size option has gone missing from an app's display settings as you can see here:

This seems to have affected the app's actual size as it's displaying in one corner of a full screen. I have tried changing authoring versions and the app version, logging in as another user and creating a copy, but I can't get it back.

Anything else I could try?

I'm wondering if it's to do with the features as I was switching ones on and of to try to resolve another issue. I now have all the retired features off and only 'Enhanced component properties' is on under Experimental. I can't turn this off as I'd need to remove my components first.

@Anonymous

Is this a phone app or a tablet app? I don't think the size setting has ever been available for phone apps, so if your target app is actually a tablet app, perhaps something has happened that's causing the editor to think that you're working on a phone app.

@timl yes it's possible I did set this up as a phone app initially. I didn't realise that size is not an option on phone apps, and assumed this was the cause of my app not displaying properly.
This is how it's displaying on desktop:

In preview mode of the studio I have an option to switch to canvas size, but this is not something that can be saved.
If I can't find a solution I will try to recreate the app as canvas. Thanks for your help.

Hi @Anonymous

I've not tested this in a while, but you could try converting your app with the "Phone to table layout converter" to see if that restores the size setting.

I couldn't import in after using this tool unfortunately. But the display seems to have sorted itself out.
