Status: NEW

(Core :: Window Management, defect)

Description

[Daniel Bodea [:danibodea]]

Attachment: demo bug of slap to screen side + maximize + restoredown

Note

• The window is not returned to its former position when maximized then minimized back.

Affected versions

• Nightly v102.0a1
• Beta v87.0b7
• Release v86.0
• ESR v 78.8.0esr

Affected platforms

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS + Wayland Window Protocol

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch browser. (with wayland window protocol)
2. Drag the window to the right to ocupy the right side of the screen.
3. Click the "Maximize" button from the top-right corner of the window.
4. Click the "Restore Down" button.

Expected result

• The window restores back to occupying the right side of the screen.

Actual result

• The window restores down to the last place it was before occupying the right side of the screen.

Regression range

• unknown

Additional notes

• This issue also occurs on sessions with xwayland window protocol, but behaves differently; it appears that xwayland window protocol will bring the window from spilling out, while the wayland window protocol will not, so the window remains off-screen.

This report is bogus: the behaviour shown in the video, and the one I've tested on an Ubuntu 22.04 VM, is the expected one in that windowing environment, be it the Wayland or X11 version. Try it with any other application shipped by default in the Ubuntu ISO (one that allows being snapped to edges anyway) and you'll note they behave exactly the same.

Suggest closing as invalid.
