Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Log in using Unity (compiz window manager), "Gnome Classic" (metacity window manager), or Lubuntu (OpenBox window manager). Start Kate. Actual Results: Kate will be horizontally maximized. If you try to resize it horizontally, you will find that the mouse cursor doesn't turn into a resize cursor; it just doesn't work. You can resize it vertically though. Expected Results: Kate should not start horizontally maximized, and it should be possible to resize the window horizontally as desired, even when started under non-KDE window managers.
Seems fixed in Kate 3.7 on Ubuntu 12.04 (tested in Guest login on unity and unity-2d).
