SUMMARY A wayland window using xdg-decoration to request server-side decorations will sometimes show a (non-functional) maximize button in the title bar for windows which are not resizable. This seems to occur if the decoration is created before set_min_size() and set_max_size() are called, but I've been unable thus far to conclusively confirm that. This affects libdecor, which always creates an xdg-decoration object when a window is first created, and then simply toggles the mode later: https://gitlab.gnome.org/jadahl/libdecoration/-/blob/82e8653af75348e5fcad4f490217c25959bb762a/src/libdecor.c#L497 SDL has worked around the issue in this commit: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/efbb6ff9d70e791d755c9ece95f248d1055b10ab There's some further discussion in the SDL issue for libdecor support: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068#issuecomment-874626945 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Build a version of SDL with libdecor support from this merge request: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pull/4068 - Note that you'll need to build libdecor first. 2. Run the SDL testwm2 app with this version of SDL. The maximize button should be visible, but useless. 3. Running the same testwm2 app with libdecor disabled will correctly not have a maximise button.

I've used the attached test app On X state seems to be correctly propagated: - Breeze decoration does not draw a maximize button (but layouting breaks so a breeze bug) On Wayland decoration buttons do not change. I've also tested with another decoration that draws the maximize button disabled if the window is not maxmizable. On X this happens on Wayland not

Handle when a xdg-toplevel changes its min or max size We previously never emitted maximiziableChanged() meaning we never synced the state to the decoration.
