Figure position changes after printing

I am using R2025a and I have noticed some strange behavior with the size and position of a figure after printing. I create a figure using the call

f = figure('units','normalized','Position',[0.1 0.2 0.24 0.25])

and after the figure is generated I run the line

get(f,'Position')

The result after the get command is [0.1 0.2438 0.2002 0.2062], and not the intended value [0.1 0.2 0.24 0.25]. This is replicated exacly if I set the units and size in separate calls after using

set(f,'Units','normalized')
set(f,'Position',[0.1 0.2 0.24 0.25])

This behavior started with R2025a. I tested these same commands in R2024b and got a figure with the appropriate values in the Position property, and it was indeed bigger than the figure generated with R2025a when compared side by side. How can I make sure that when I generate a figure I get one with the Position values that I had previously set?

PD: I tried setting the properties WindowStyle to normal, Resize to off, and ToolBar and MenuBar to none, all resulted in the same resizing of the output.

I can't reproduce that. What OS are you using?

I am using Windows 11 Home. Something I noted was that if I run the commands in a script programatically, the command get(f,'Position') will give me the right values, but after the figure prints and I run the get command again in the command window I get the "resized" values. Example in the picture attached below.

Hi @Tomas,

After following the reproduction steps you provided, I could not reproduce the issue.

>> f = figure('units','normalized','Position',[0.1 0.2 0.24 0.25]);
>> get(f,'Position')

ans =

    0.1000    0.2000    0.2400    0.2500
