3DS Max seems to have a bug where if you dock the scene/layer explorer (in my case to the left part of the screen), save the scene, close max and reopen the file, it’s width shrinks. Here are some screenshots to help illustrate this:
I have a scene with the layer explorer docked: 
I save, close max, open the file and it looks like this now: 
Notice it has shrunk by 9-10 pixels with respects to the mini-listener. After working on a file long enough this shrinks tighter and tighter until it becomes unusable + it just plain annoys you making it so you have to readjust it every max session.
Rather than wait for Autodesk to fix this small pet peeve, I was thinking I could manually set the width with a startup script, however I don’t know how to get the name of the layer explorer variables that I need to change. Does anyone here who has had experience tinkering with the UI know of a way to accomplish what I want? Thanks in advance
