> and restore its window
Can you clarify what this means?

Are these apps maximized when closed?

I will fix this bug ASAP as soon as I have a reproducible case, which is why I'd really like to find one. :)

clearer steps:
1. make sure "Allow KDE apps to remember the positions of their own windows"  option is checked in "Advanced" tab of "Window behavior" kcm
2. open any affected app mentioned above (it opens maximized on my system)
3. restore the window by clicking on "Restore" button of its window decoration
4. close the app
5. re-open the app

OBSERVED RESULT
the app opens maximized

EXPECTED RESULT
after the last step, the app should open with the window size restored
in the step 3, not maximized

I still cannot reproduce for any of those apps when following your instructions exactly. :(

I suspect this part is the key: 

> (it opens maximized on my system)
Was it supposed to open maximized? Was it maximized before? Can you attach the rc file of any or all the affected apps? e.g. ~/.config/dolphinrc

Created attachment 132616 [details]
dolphinrc file

The affected apps open maximized regardless them were maximized before or not.
I'm attaching my dolphinrc file.

I thought so. Based on the config file, it's the same issue as Bug 426813.

Window-Maximized 1080x1920=true
Window-Maximized 900x1600=true

Those shouldn't be in there. I guess the problem is that these entries aren't being removed when the window is restored, or when it's somehow gotten de-maximized anyway.
