Comment #13 on issue 3586 by unknown.unit: Maximized window state not remembered in new window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3586
Surely user comment indicates that we want maximized for all new windows if we've selected maximized before? How about the fact that every other browser works maximized all the time once you've set a widow maximized a single time (i.e. closing all windows you still get a maximized window on opening the browser again, and all new windows from the existing one open maximized as well) - and people don't complain that they don't like this (or at least I've not seen such a complaint in my years of using browsers.) I don't think I've ever seen anyone use non-maximized windows for browsers except in very rare and special circumstances. A browser windows is not like other windows and is used differently. Unlike (e.g.) an explorer window you want to use all the available screen space for a browser. I understand the "standard windows behaviour" comment, but this is a different use of the word "standard" than how it may be being interpreted here (no offense intended if I'm totally off base with this.) It's only standard in the sense of "that's what other windows tend to do" and not in the sense of "this is how windows *should/must* behave." In my opinion the "standard" behaviour is incorrect in this case and should not be followed just because "everyone else does it." (never mind that everyone else doesn't do it when it comes to browser windows.) Could you give some examples of use cases hurt by a maximized browser window? I am genuinely interested as I can't think of any. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
