Resize xsane tiny window in Gnome

I am running Ubuntu 21.10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad with Gnome has my desktop. When I run xsane my "Advanced Options" window is tiny (10 pixels wide and not much more high) and I cannot seem to resize it. Thus I do not have access to its functions. When I move my mouse near edges of the window I do not get the resize pointer. When I right click on the title bar, "Maximize" and "Resize" are greyed out and unavailable. Running

sudo apt purge xsane
sudo apt install xsane

did not fix the problem. When I run

-r 'Advanced options HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw (3DBC02):HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw (3DBC02)' -e 0,200,300,300,300

I can move the tiny window around but I cannot affect its size. It remembers this tiny size between sessions so it is being stored in an file somewhere. In the directory

~/.sane/xsane

there are three settings files:

This third file has a number of settings that control the position and size of windows. For example I can move and resize the preview window by changing

-preview-window-x-position

,

-preview-window-y-position

,

-preview-window-width

and

-preview-window-height

. But the advanced options window only has position data and when I added line

"xsane-advanced-options-window-width"
250

it was ignored and removed from the file when I quit xsane. I still don't have an answer but I feel I have made some progress.
