Comment 21 for bug 168422

Just downloaded SVN 21415 and the problem is still there.
This bug is not fixed.

1) open a new Inkscape session (in my preferences the window is small);
2) draw a rectangle;
3) maximize;
4) save the file with File->Save;
5) close Inkscape;
6) reopen the fle.
The window is not in the top corner, it's big and it goes offscreen in the bottom.

Another issue:
1) open a new Inkscape session (in my preferences the window is small);
2) draw a rectangle;
3) maximize;
4) close Inkscape so it asks if you want to save the file;
5) give a name and save the file, Inkscape closes;
6) reopen the fle.
The window is restored in it's size and position BEFORE being maximized.

The two procedures give inconsistent results while the user expects they are exactly equivalent. Why aren't they?

Anyway, I think it's important to stress that a maximized window is NOT a normal window with some negative coordinate and its size near (if not even more) to the screen's one; it's a MAXIMIZED window with coordinates and size that will be applied as soon as the user demaximizes it. The state of the upper right central-of-three button reflects this difference.

So, I think that the maximized state should be stored together with original coordinates and size. Or at least, the maximized state discarded but original coordinates and size stored (so when you reopen the document they are restored).

Thanks.

Windows XP SP3, SVN 21415.
