    I've tried different Kontakt versions and is always the same: a big oversized Kontakt UI that is cut off when you load some libraries. This only occurs as VST in cubase, not in Standalone version. Am I the only one? Because I didnt see any other similar resizing issues here either other places. And no solutions either.

    Thank you for your help in advance

    I've never had that issue and have used all the Kontakts from v5 to v8 (R2R, bobdule and Portable) in Cubase for a long time and looks like yours has a strange big border grey box around the actual Kontakt (GUI) and have never seen that ever before.
    Where did you find the option for Cubase to resize the plugin? Because for me this one does not offer that option, although most others do. (You do not want Cubase to resize this plugin)
    Here's how it looks with latest Kontakt 8 Portable and the latest Cubase 14 Pro:

    Resize is now done in the actual Kontakt (GUI) or/and dragging the right bottom corner

    In v6.8, it's always about 1/3 the size of the DAW screen in Logic when you first open it. The icon 2 to the right of the gear icon (settings) switches it from rack view to minimized view. Did they get rid of that option? Is this all a result of your "Portable" version?

    You also have a lot of empty grey space bordering Kontakt in the image, with it launched inside a floating window like that. About 1/3 of its width is a waste of real estate. That also means you won't even get a benefit out of using multiple instances of Kontakt with a lower number of instruments loaded into them.
