I am unable to resize a RemoteWebDriver's window size to a width greater than around 1040 pixels. The hub is running on a Red Hat VM with the node running on the Windows host machine with Google Chrome. My Selenium framework is in Java.
The following methods have been tested: 1) driver.manage().window().setSize() 2) Adding a "--window-size" switch to DesiredCapabilities' options 3) Resizing the window with Javascript window.open() command via JavaScriptExecutor
Each of these methods resize the driver's window, but not any larger than 1040 pixels. When I run Selenium tests locally on the hub with a Firefox WebDriver, I do not experience this restriction.
