Description Patrick Silva 2018-01-24 02:59:23 UTC 
I don't know if it's a bug or a missing feature...

Under Wayland a window always has the same size when is opened.

Under X11 window size (maximized, unmaximized, manually resized) is remembered on close and applied next time the window is opened.

Can we have under Wayland the same behavior from X11 please?

Sorry, but that's out of scope of KWin. That's the job of the application.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-01-24 16:25:12 UTC 
So what accounts for the reported issue where windows that remember their size in X don't in Wayland? Could that be an XWayland issue?
Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2018-01-24 18:37:19 UTC 
On my Arch Linux running plasma 5.12 beta only apps running natively under Wayland (QT5 and GTK3) are affected.
GTK2, GTK3 under xWayland (Firefox, for example) and QT4 apps (VLC and Clementine player) have its size remembered on close.

Martin, can we re-investigate per Comment 3? Thanks!

On X these information is stored in the application, on Wayland it also needs to be stored in the application.
