164579 - Mozilla disappears forever if maximize button clicked after starting maximized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167663

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Nathan Silva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020825
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020825

If you start Mozilla in a maximized state (i.e., the window state was saved in
localstore.rdf as maximized), then click the maximize + button to restore it to
normal size, the browser window disappears and it is not possible to get it
back, even if you restart Mozilla.

OS is Mac OS X 10.2, browser is 2002082503 trunk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla.
2. Maximize it by clicking the maximize + button.
3. Quit Mozilla (Note: you may have to quit twice, bug 164520).
4. Start Mozilla again. It should start maximized.
5. Click the maximize + button.
Actual Results:  
The Mozilla window disappears. Even if you quit and restart Mozilla, you cannot
get back the Mozilla browser window.

Expected Results:  
If Mozilla is already maximized, clicking the + button should restore it to
"normal" size.

This only occurs if Mozilla was closed while in a maximized state, i.e., if you
start with a normal size window you can click + all you want and it works fine.
But if you quit while maximized, the next time you start Mozilla and click the +
button your browser will disappear.

A temporary workaround is to delete localstore.rdf.

This affects 10.2-only.
