Description Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-06 17:46:14 UTC
SUMMARY
Spin off from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431230. In there is also the konsolerc file attached.

When closing Konsole and opening it again, it restores in a pretty small form factor not remembering its previous size. This happens on X11 for me with Tumbleweed (most current version).

That might be it, I'll have a look soon.

Is this not enabled by default (or overwritten on Tumbleweed)? At least on Manjaro I think it was always on and also I think I read something about it before.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-01-07 19:20:54 UTC
Yes, Settings -> General -> Remember Window Size needs to be checked. I'm pretty sure it's checked by default in Tumbleweed. It is for me. You can see if you click on the Defaults button on the bottom of the window.
Comment 4 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-08 15:56:11 UTC
I did not disable it. So if it is really enabled by default, it should also be enabled for me (I will try to check soon). Thus it does not to be working properly for me - reopening for now.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-01-08 16:40:57 UTC
Does the window size get remembered when the checkbox is checked? That's all that matters. Whether or not it's checked by default for you is a separate thing.
Comment 6 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-08 16:57:47 UTC
I know and will try to report back soon!

It was checked, so this does not seem to be the reason for the problem.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2021-01-13 20:42:29 UTC
Is it the same issue as in Bug 431234 where the value gets written to the config file, but not read?
Comment 10 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-13 20:58:12 UTC
Possibly, I'll make sure to check this for Konsole as well.
Comment 11 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-14 12:31:47 UTC
Yes, I can confirm that the behavior is the same as for Dolphin.
Comment 12 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-14 12:38:34 UTC
I noticed that the line
`RestorePositionForNextInstance=false`
is added to the file for both Dolphin and Konsole when they are launched and removed when they are closed. But that might not be related.
