Description Christoph Feck 2016-10-06 05:12:07 UTC

To reproduce:
- start konqueror
- maximize its window
- exit konqueror
- start konqueror again

Actual result:
- konqueror starts with tiny window size

Expected result:
- konqueror starts maximized

Not only window size, but all other configuration is lost. I only tried Ctrl+M to hide the menu bar. On next start, the menu bar is visible again.

This makes konqueror unusable.

I filled two bugs for the two issues you mentioned (I was not aware of this bug at that time). As said in them, the issues can be workarounded:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373826 -> For the case someone is interested, I currently work around the issue with a specific kwin rule to force inital size of Konqueror's window.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373825 -> For now, I could work around the issue by manually editing the file konqueror.rc located in .local/share/kxmlgui5/konqueror/

Let me say, that these workarounds are far from optimal, but they do the job until the issues get fixed (if they eventually do)

Should be fixed in 17.04 (RC):
https://cgit.kde.org/konqueror.git/commit/?h=Applications/17.04&id=c726679e24cda7bd232044ea8e7b069483989905

I just gave that patch a quick try on top of 17.04 Beta: The window size is remembered now, and Konqueror starts maximized if it was when it's closed. Also the shown toolbars are remembered, and whether the menu bar is shown or hidden.

I think this can be closed now...
