Description saxn 2022-05-24 04:45:58 UTC
SUMMARY
File properties window should not have maximize and minimize button. While maximize there is so much space wasted. Some operation remains on the top left corner and some in buttom right corner.

"Submit Bug Report" window itself is bugged while having maximize and minimize button.
I think we should limit window operation for certain windows.

Being unable to minimize would drive people crazy. But limiting the ability to maximize small dialog windows could conceivably make sense.

This would need to be done on a window-by-window basis though. Please file a separate bug report on each window you think should not be maximizable. We can use this one for the properties window

yes, some window is shown in latte dock when you minimize but some window don't. If it is shown in latte dock it should have a minimize button if don't we shouldn't. 

For example About KDE window, even we minimize the window it is not shown in latte dock so, why bother adding minimize button ?
