Description sebaro 2025-11-26 09:22:04 UTC 
SUMMARY
Once I maximize kwrite it gets stuck in maximized mode, minimize button does nothing.

I did post this on Discuss
https://discuss.kde.org/t/kwrite-doesnt-remember-geometry/40439/11
My own workaround, make these files read-only:
~/.local/state/kwritestaterc
~/.local/share/kwrite/anonymous.katesession

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open kwrite, maximize its window
2. minimize
3. close kwrite

OBSERVED RESULT
On restart kwrite is always in maximized mode.

EXPECTED RESULT
On restart kwrite is in previous mode
