Screenshot of maximized notification window covering entire screen
SUMMARY
On one of my machines, KDE Plasma maximizes all windows even on large screen,
even for windows that are meant kind of tiny. When I research this topic online
I find guides to set up manual special rules to make this happen intentionally,
which tells me this happening by default without special rules is probably not
a bug. Sometimes it even maximizes the notification windows which suddenly
covers the entire screen, although most of the time it's just all regular
windows and dialogs (which is still rather jarring on a larger screen).
Since this only happens on my postmarketOS machine it could be a packaging bug
I suppose, I'm not seeing this on openSUSE. But it seems like the distribution
people so far seem clueless as well as to what is causing this. Downstream
ticket is here: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/3101 My
apologies if this isn't KDE's fault.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Plasma 6, start Wayland session
2. Connect large external screen
3. Open any application like Firefox, Thunderbird, KWrite, ...
OBSERVED RESULT
Any window that opens, even about dialogs and other smaller popup dialogs, are
maximized over the entire screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Unless the screen is tiny to start with or the app was maximized last time at
the time of being closed, windows shouldn't spawn maximized again.
