The issue isn't snap vs deb, it's a bug in gtk4 on x11. The snaps (and flatpak) use portals to interact with the filesystem and the GNOME portal is written in gtk4 where the evince and thunderbird debs are still on gtk3
reading upstream posts it sounds like doing $ gsettings reset org.gtk.gtk4.Settings.FileChooser window-size should workaround the issue until the dialog is manually resized again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971112 Title: File picker gets bigger more and more each time!
