Window always open in maximize mode when size > 60-70%

[shantanu saha]

Window is always open in maximize mode if it's previous size is >= 60-70%.

How to regenerate:
1. Open file browser, resize window to 70% of whole screen.
2. Close the file browser
3. Open it again. File browser will start in maximize mode

Expected:
Window should not maximize until it's size is near to maximize size.

This bug affects me aswell, is there any workaround for this so far? Because i really do not like it if my windows are starting maximized all the time..

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize false

probably

[Cassidy James Blaede (cassidyjames)]

Tom is correct, and I can confirm here in Freya. Should we consider shipping that key as false?

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

It looks like windows that start larger than the display are automatically resized not to be larger than the display. So yeah I think it's safe to set it as false.

org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize is set to false in Loki.
