Bug Description

Chromium browser by default start with an unmaximized window in my Ubuntu system and I've to manually do maximize.
I have try to edit all desktop file I can edit to add --start-maximized option but it doesn't work ...
And i can't edit desktop file in /snap/chromium directory

Is it possible to modify desktop file with another way or snap package must be updated with this option ?

Gnome Shell is supposed the last window state, either maximized or not,
and opens it accordingly. At least that is what I see when I

1. Open Chromium.
2. Make it {maximized, not maximized}.
3. Close it.
4. Open Chromium.
5. Verify that it is {maximized, not maximized}.

It also respects --start-maximized for the case that the window would
otherwise not be maximized.

Do you use the default Gnome desktop environment in Ubuntu? And what is
'snap info chromium' for you?

What is 'type -a chromium' and 'lsb_release -a'? Do you use Gnome Shell
extensions? If you try some other window manager (e.g. icewm), does the
problem persist?
