(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kwin Version: KDE 3.0.5 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot Severity: normal Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: Not Specified OS: Not Specified OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Hello how to reproduce: 1. start knode. 2. reduce the size of the window so that its width and height are both smaller that the width and height of the screen and position it in the middle of the screen 3. Maximize the window 4. grab the left side of the window frame and move it to the middle of the screen 5. close knode 6. restart knode Now knode covers only part of the screen. Yet there is not the maximize button but the cascade (or what's its name) button. This bug has been there for a very long time. Regards Volker Augustin (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
I don't know why this bug still had unconfirmed status. This bug does even still exist in KDE 3.0.5.
Because i can't reproduce it. What decorations are you using?
Subject: Re: No maximize button even though window only covers half the screen > Because i can't reproduce it. What decorations are you using? If you use the SuSE decoration you will not be able to see the bug from the icons as there seems to be no difference between the cascade and the maximize icon. However, the behaviour is reproducible with the KDE 2 or the keramik decoration (those are the decorations I tried). And there are other apps showing the same behavior. Volker

Maybe it's just misleading. I can confirm with a recent kdelibs. After KNode is maximized and you start to drag the left or right size to decrease the width of the window, the Maximize button turns to the "Restore" button and the Maximize menu item is unselected from the window menu, but after closing/restarting it is checked and the icon says that the window is maximized, altough it isn't. Resizing/moving the window corrects the situation. What I believe that happens is, that the window is treated as maximized even if it's maximized only vertically. I'm using the Keramik Windows Decoration setting. Andras > Thanks, > Volker > > >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to > >> unsubscribe <<
Subject: Re: Could someone with a current HEAD version please try to confirm Bug #40636? I can confirm it. Both recent CVS and 3.1 branch using KDE2 decoration.
I can confirm this. After restarting knode, no maximize-button is displayed, but a restore-button instead.
Oh, I forgot to mention. This is with a kdelibs build from February 28.
I've seen this a few times.
This is not actually a bug. It's simply because windows that are fully maximized have the same symbol in the maximize buttons as windows maximized only horizontally/vertically. So in this case, the button shows that KNode is maximized, and it indeed is, vertically.

There, it does seem to work correctly. IMO the maximize button should be displayed whenever it is possible to maximize a window. And since the window is only maximized vertically but not horizontally it *can* be maximized. For the user maximizing has only one meaning: Make the window so large that it fills the screen.
Should work fine with current CVS.
