Yes, this issue has been driving me nuts since the beta of 24.04. I have even reported this but cannot find the ticket, better there is a separate ticket though. I think this affects qt5 apps somehow and I have a workaround to "remember" the maximized state. I can reproduce this anywhere and also in a VM environment.
The workaround is the following: - start the app (it is not maximized obviously) - press Alt+Up to maximize and then Alt+Down to unmaximize - find out the window class name and run this in the terminal: xdotool search --class "$name" windowsize %@ 100% 100% - close the app/window Now, when you restart it will be in a maximized state. In my real environment it is a bit harder because I also have multiple monitors and this makes it even harder as I need to move the window from one to another, maximize there and then move back for some reason. Apps that I have this problem with: code (VS code) git-cola (python qt5 app) other qt5 apps Additionally, for the qt5 aps to look nice in Gnome I use export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb so it may be related somehow. I am willing to help to track this issue... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083744 Title: Window Maximized is not persistent for some apps after startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/2083744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
