- fixed closing drawer when maximize on, now drawer keeps maximize state when closed til manual resize and no longer loses old wnd size, will open to maximize height
- fixed opening config drawer while being maximized losing maximized state and/or saving maximized height, now auto adjusts size to match available space (added System.onSnapAdjustChanged())
- fixed auto restore on video start if maximized was entered when video wasn't playing (which kinda ruined the point, heh)
- fixed layout not saving its position when resized from script (ie: clicking maximize button) and reloading to the old pos
- fixed video overlay repositionning lagging when moving main window from another window (ie, ctrl+shift+move another window)
