[Bug 164893] Re: Using full-screen from the “Extra WM Actions” plugin doesn't get remembered by applications

 

I've updated this bug with the information you have provided. Bug 159382
is the correct place for discussion regarding Compiz automatically
remembering window locations.

** Summary changed:

- Compiz misrembers full-screen status of closed applications
+ Using full-screen from the “Extra WM Actions” plugin doesn't get remembered by applications

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: compiz
+ Using full-screen from the “Extra WM Actions” plugin doesn't get
+ remembered by applications
  
- Hello! This is about latest Gutsy.
+ To reproduce:
+ 1) Open Geany;
+ 2) Move and resize the window to some easily-identifiable configuration (say, left/bottom quarter of the screen);
+ 3) Close Geany;
+ 4) Start Geany again; notice it remembered its position.
+ 5) Make Geany full-screen (F11 on my Compiz configuration).
+ 6) Close Geany;
+ 7) Start Geany again; notice how it's maximized rather than full-screen. I expect it to be full-screen.
  
- Compiz* remembers the window size when applications are closed. The next
- time an application is started, its window is set to the last recorded
- size (I'm not sure about the position). The problem is that if a window
- was in full-screen mode when it was closed, at restart it is set to
- maximized mode. I almost never use maximized mode, but very often  use
- full-screen mode. So this situation is annoying. I would prefer if
- either (1) applications remembered full-screen status, and started that
- way if applicable, or (2) they were started in the last used non-
- maximized window size.
+ Repeating the same test using View->Fullscreen has it restart in
+ fullscreen.
  
- (*: At least, I think it's the window manager's job to do that, and
- Compiz is what I'm using.)
+ The above should work the same with a Nautilus window, provided it's
+ always the same folder, or with Firefox. It won't work at all with the
+ Gnome terminal (start+T on my config).
