72558 - maximized state not persisted if window is also minimized

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

I noticed this while testing the fix to bug 50424, but I don't think the bugs 
are related.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a single browser window and maximize it.

2a. Minimize the browser window.
2b. -or- hit Show Desktop on the taskbar.

3a. Close the browser window and restart Mozilla.
3b. -or- activate a shortcut to mozilla.exe.

Result:           A new restored browser window opens.
Expected result:  A new maximized browser window opens.

Note: if I drag a shortcut to mozilla.exe to the taskbar and click on it while 
Mozilla is running, I do get a maximized window.

Another way to see this bug:

Open a maximized mozilla window (no content needed)
Open a new maximized mozilla window (ctrl-n or such)
Minimize one of the mozilla windows
From the lone maximized window hit ctrl-n to create a third window
This third window will be 'restored' when it logically should be 'maximized'

Quite an annoying bug.

It looks to me like a remnant of the bug(s) of yore that concerned new windows
never opening maximized (ala IE).  But hey, I fully realize that I know nothing.

machine

Attachment: don't persist minimized state

The thing to do is not persist the minimized state. That way it'll continue to
persist the previous state, whether it was maximized or normal.
