Details

(Whiteboard: [dupeme?])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

I moved Thunderbird (window not maximised) to the secondary display and later closed it.

  • I'm using Thunderbird 60.4.0, Ubuntu 18.04, GNOME Shell 3.28
  • Originally reported against Thunderbird 7.0.1 and Ubuntu 11.10
  • Launchpad bug: http://launchpad.net/bugs/868175

My apologies if this has already been reported as I feel that it must have been but I couldn't find a similar report after 30 minutes of searching.

Actual results:

When relaunched, Thunderbird opened maximised on the primary display.

Expected results:

I expected Thunderbird to re-open with the same window state (not maximised) on the same display on which it was closed.

Hmm, a friend of mine complained about this today on Windows. I've just tried myself and TB comes back on the screen where I closed it, maximised or not.
