I've also found that very annoying.  I've never needed to resize Hatari
window, but I accidentally hit the resize button now and then.  So, I
added option to disable window resizing:

Btw. The current resizing support could be a bit more useful if it
would maintain aspect ratio.  Best way to do that is probably
letting SDL do it:
	https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize

But one then loses full control of the window resolution.

However, maintaining the aspect ratio manually seems quite error prone:
