Is there a way to stop apps opening with a gap at the bottom when auto-hiding the dock? I have to resize everytime for it to fill the screen...

You can resize apps' windows automatically with the Shortcuts app. I have a shortcut where it will run a shell script to enable dock's auto-hide and then resize Safari and Firefox.
Are you launching the app while the dock is still showing, then hiding the dock?
Kind of- the dock is showing because I'm launching it from the dock, so yes it's technically showing while it is launching. As soon as I move my mouse it hides though- can apps not see the dock setting to know if it is hidden or not?
I do remember that happening in previous version of the Os. What are you running?
It's Monterey 12.4
Weird. I played with it for a minute. Even installed Firefox and it’s not doing that on my system, also running 12.4 even while hovering over the dock at launch. Only happened when the dock is unhidden and I option command D to hide it.
