Description Matthias Heinz 2009-04-29 20:50:22 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hi,

I don't know if it's possible to find out, if the window was maximized. But if, then it would be nice to remember the last not maximized size.


Best regards,
Matthias

do you mean that when restoring a previous KDE session with a maximized konsole, un-maximising konsole doesn't restore the original size, it stays at the same size, just not maximised?  If that's what you mean I agree it would be a nice improvement

Hi,

no, it's a bit different:

To reproduce resize your konsole window to for example 80x25. Then quit konsole and restart it again. The window should be 80x25 now.
Now, maximize the window and quit konsole. Restart konsole again, now you get a maximized window [1]. Now, switch maximization off, you get a konsole window with 118x44 and it would be great if the 80x25 would get saved somewhere.


Regards,
Matthias


[1] which is kinda annoying, too, it'd be nice to have default size, which you can set in the options

yeah, that's basically what I meant - I think we agree :)

Well, this seems a generic problem for KDE applications using KMainWindow.

Repeat steps in comment #2 for dolphin/gwenview/okular, and I get similar results.
The un-maximized size info is lost after maximizing and restating.

I figure that this bug is in the wrong category.

It would be great if someone could change the "product" accordingly.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
