132371 - Closing browser while in fullscreen mode breaks fullscreen mode on subsequent launch (localstore.rdf)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

This is a weird one.

Start browser and hit F11. Then click on the close button.

Start the browser again. Press F11. Note that even though you selected
fullscreen mode, the menu bar stays around.

Something about closing the window while in fullscreen mode causes bad things to
happen.

Well it happens on OS/2 and Windows, so that is a good as All/All for me :)

No way to select two platforms.

Whatever seems to be happening seems to be a cross platform thing.

This bug is really important for us. I put an explanation on
http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=361 for why.
I am willing to spend some time to track it down. I would be very happy to find
a solution quickly and if the patch is riskless, put it in 1.2 (I know I am
dreaming, but that's what keep me alive :)

Here are my findings: I've played around with the profiles. The only thing that
differs between a broken profile and a non broken profile is something in the
localstore.rdf file.
If I start my browser maximized, go in full screen, and close using ALT-F C, the
main-window information in the localstore.rdf changes and breaks the full screen
mode. I attach both the working and the broken localstore.rdf, and well as the diff.

Any idea where I should look for information? Is this something I can try to fix
using pacthmaker?

Still trying to play around and get a full screen window at startup, I found out
that to one could repair by maximizing the window. Then Fullscreen mode is repaired.
I then guessed that changing sizemode from "normal" to "maximized" in the
localstored.rdf file would solve the problem. It did.  (it's easier than to play
around with figures, as these figures depend on screen size.
So the bug might come from the fact that a fullscreen window is not stored as
maximized while it is. 

Hope this helps.

[I still need to find out how to maximize the browser at startup. I tried to set
the all.js fullscreen property  to allAccess, without result. Any help
appreciated...]
