Hi all,

After upgrading from F37 to F38, applications don’t launch with maximized window anymore in Gnome when app window was maximized before closing window or quitting app.

Repro steps:

  1. launch Thunderbird
  2. maximize window
  3. quit Thunderbird
  4. Re-launch Thunderbird

Observe:
Thunderbird window is not maximized.

Happens also with other apps when they have an indicator in the system tray and closing and re-opening window.

I’m using Gnome on Xorg.

Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter!
Same issue in clean Fedora Workstation 38 installation.
Gnome + Wayland.
I opened Gimp & GNOME Commander – both have the issue.

I don’t have any issues with this happening. I have been upgrading this install over several releases of Fedora Workstation. It may be Video driver related, I use an AMD CPU with on board GPU, system components are about a year old now.

I’m experiencing same behavior with nouveau driver. I also had some power management issues with desktop not waking from hibernation (different issue).

I am experiencing same problem.

This seems to be fixed now with Gnome 44.2
