Description Silian Della Ragione 2004-11-15 10:44:02 UTC
Sometimes with some application (like firefox), when I resize the window to "maximize" and I restart the application, the window isn't maximized. Sometimes it is only partial maximized, but he think to be maximized. Then if I do unmaximize, it begin a little window (very very little), on the left of the screen.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start an application (try with differents)
2.Maximize a window
3.Restart the application

Actual Results:  
I don't see a good maximize on restart, and unmaximize make the window too small.

Expected Results:  
A normal maximize and position rimember system.

windowmaker 0.91.0

I'm hitting the same bug with windowmaker 0.91.0-r1 running on xorg-x11 6.8.0-r3. Can anybody tell if this is Gentoo-specific problem or a windowmaker issue?
Comment 2 Przemyslaw Maciag (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-24 08:27:14 UTC
Same here - wmaker-0.91
Comment 3 Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-05 16:29:18 UTC
seems I maintain windowmaker now ;-) reassigning
Comment 4 Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-05 17:07:21 UTC
I do not get the effect of having the window "partially maximized" when restarted, but I do get the effect where, after restart, un-maximizing the window makes it incredibly small.

Looking into it, and checking/reporting to upstream.
Comment 5 Matthew Howle 2005-02-07 19:18:23 UTC
It seems Firefox is the only application I have that does this.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050123 Firefox/1.0
Comment 6 R. Bosch 2005-06-12 06:04:30 UTC
Bug is upstream fixed in CVS

Besides, it is always reproducible.
(mozilla, pan)
- Maximize application
- Close application
- re-open application
- unmaximize
- Almost gone (mozilla) or smaller than usual (pan)

preventing windows from going atomic after "unmaximise"

This patch prevents windows "disappearing" after unmaximise is clicked.
part of the problem is still there...
- In unmaximised state:
    resize window
Comment 8 R. Bosch 2005-06-12 07:10:58 UTC
(In reply to comment #7)

- In unmaximised state:
    resize window
- Maximize
- Close
- re-open

You'll find that the window is as large as defined in unmaximised state, yet it
is maximized...
You can safely "unmaximize" the window (nothing will happen) and re-maximize.

In short:
panic-problem resolved. Annoying problem still stands...
