Description Kaspars 2016-11-02 17:26:48 UTC

OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 RC2 plasma5-desktop-5.8.2-1.1.x86_64. The same was with RC1.

Window size is not remembered after closing and opening application if multiple monitors are used.
If I unplug external monitor (TV via HDMI) and resize a window, its size is remembered after closing and opening.

Laptop with Intel and NVIDIA.

I'm sorry, but it's not the task of the window manager to store the window sizes of a window. It's the task of each application to store it's window size.

So, should I open a new bug report for each application that doesn't remember its size?

I'm quite certain that not every application is affected by the problem. It is more likely that it falls into categories like e.g. "affects all Qt 5 applications". In that case it would be enough to report against qt.
