all of the sudden some of my pop up dialogs and other windows are now
resizable that normally aren't or weren't. this is annoying as i now i
have to drag the corner of the window to increase its size to display
the dialog buttons, is there a fix ?

After you drag to resize, close with the file menu instead of the red X and
then reopen. The windows should hold the new size.

Does not work. I also mean, that windows or popups that normally one
size or another now require me to drag corners to show buttons.
 
In previous versions of Windows, when you closed the window you had to
hold
down either the ctrl or shift key (it's been so long I cannot remember
which) to make the resize stick.

Windows sets the default restored size on closing for opening, if you hold
down the Ctrl key while clicking the red [x] button in the upper right
corner of the window. The three buttons at the top right of a window are
initially controlled through the shell, which then feeds the command to the
application. The File-Close dropdown menu is not (except for shell apps,
such as Explorer). Whether the window holds it size that way depends upon
the inclination of the app. Some apps will ignore the default restored size
setting on opening.
