307117 - Maximized browser windows, but minimized to the taskbar, pop up from the taskbar with normal size (unmaximized) after applying a windows appearance scheme

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 169582

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

[Mihai Hanor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050728
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.11) Gecko/20050728

Maximized browser windows, but minimised to the taskbar, pop up from the taskbar
with normal size (unmaximized) after applying a windows apprearance scheme
To reproduce it open 1, 2, or 3 browser windows. Maximize all of them, then
minimize them to the taskbar. Open the Display (Control Panel) applet, select
the Appearance tab, select another appearance scheme and apply it. All the
browser's windows should pop up, with normal size (non-maximized). I don't think
this is a normal behaviour. The windows should not pop-up from the taskbar and
they should remain maximized as they were set by the user.

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.11 under Windows 2000 SP4. This behaviour occurs in older
versions too.

Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this on WinXP as well.

I see similar behaviour, but the browser windows don't need to be maximised.

Seen on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050810
Firefox/1.0+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717
Firefox/1.0.6
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050830
and on
Thunderbird version 1.0+ (20050817)

so this isn't just on the App Suite.

This is probably a duplicate of Bug 213944, which needs to be reopened.

I have switched to SeaMonkey 1.0 final. The issue still occurs.
As a side note (I don't know if it worths opening a new bug), maximizing (Maximize) and normalizing (Restore) the size of a SeaMonkey's window which currently has loaded the page with the URL "http://www.teac.com/DSPD/support/dt_dvdr_drives/ide_dvdr.htm", triggers a page refresh - every time.

I have to rectify something... only the top section (the one containing the Teac logo on the far right) refreshes on maximizing/restoring the window's size.

Dupe of Bug 232959?

I'll look at this when I get to bug 169582. Marking as dupe.
