Maestro - custom window size for simulation log

Each time I had to resize the window to see end of log file for runtime & cpu load. Is there a way to set custom size?
virtuoso version ICADVM20.1-64b.500.34

Somehow it's not working for me. I get t value when I enter these commands in ciw, but there's no change on new log file window opened.

envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "netlistBBox" 'string "60 60 1300 1300")
envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "autoDisplayBBox" 'string "60 60 1300 1300")

These are working on new run, not on old interactive. Log window is updating but not netlist window. Strange!

;resize netlist & log file windows, default 0 0 515 700, these are xy co-ordinates, x1 y1 x2 y2
envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "netlistBBox" 'string "50 250 1050 1000")
envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "autoDisplayBBox" 'string "0 250 1000 1000")

In the Known Problems and Solutions for ADE Assembler manual (which you would find if you search in the help for netlistBBox) it says:

CCR 2408738: The spectre.envOpts netlistBBox environment variable does not work in ADE Explorer and ADE Assembler
Description: You cannot use the netlistBBox variable to resize the netlist window in ADE Explorer and ADE Assembler.
Solution: Currently, there is no way to change the default window size. You need to manually resize each window.

The issue is that these use a newer hypertext linked netlist viewer, and that's not (currently) using the netlistBBox env var to set the size of the window. That's what the Cadence Change Request mentioned above is about.
