Bug Description

This might be an issue with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome as well, I am using the Brave Browser and noticed this. I *think* it uses xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for the time being though. This is 22.04 Daily Build from April 9th updated.

What happens: If you decide to save an image, the file save dialog pops up, provided by either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or -gnome, this is fine. However, multiple instances of calling the file save dialog such as saving multiple images from a website will cause the dialog box to grow and grow every time it is called, leading to it stretching off the main screen onto my secondary (which is a portrait 1080x1920 monitor to the right of the main 2560x1440 monitor). This is super annoying because you never know where the window is going to appear, and at what size (well, I guess you do know that it is going to grow each time, but it is VERY inconsistent).

I've attached a scaled down webm, in it I am downloading cat pictures from Google Image Search. For the first image, it shows how large it tends to get, and I resize it to a smaller size. Then, with each image that the dialog is brought up for, it grows and grows.
