Bug Description
unity:
Installed: 3.8.4-0ubuntu1
I use my laptop sometimes plugged into a higher res display. After using it there, where Chromium and Firefox have large windows, then disconnecting to the laptop's low res display, it creates the windows maximized.
This is annoying, but worse, no matter what I do - resize and place them, every time I restart the apps they're *still* maximized. It's stuck always maximizing them, so every time I launch them I have to unmaximize and place the windows.
Proposed solution: allow the automaximize value to be costumizable. If it's set to 100%, the window will only maximize if it occupies all the screen or if it was previously maximized.
