Here is what I have found. First of all, I have Ubuntu 10.04 with GLX- Dock (Cairo Dock with Open-GL) installed on my system. My issue was caused when I installed the Cairo Dock add-on in Thunderbird 16.0.1, then I right clicked on my Thunderbird icon in my GLX-Dock and selected 'other actions - fullscreen'
After that, I did not get the option in the GLX-Dock, or in Thunderbird, to change it back to normal screen. What I found was that this changed the screen size settings in localstore.rdf to the following settings: <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#messengerWindow" width="700" height="403" screenX="0" screenY="3" sizemode="maximized" /> I then changed filename of localstore.rdf to localstore.rdf.old and restarted Thunderbird. Thunderbird created a new localstore.rdf file on startup with the following default settings, which were correct settings to eliminate the issue. <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#messengerWindow" width="1024" height="711" screenX="0" screenY="3" sizemode="normal" /> note: screenY="3" on my system because I have a hidden panel on top that is set to 3 pixels wide until I scroll over it. ScreenY would probably be "0" on most systems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196058 Title: Thunderbird starts in a full-screen mode and cannot be restored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/196058/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
