When is minimized the positions are set to -32000 and the dimensions to 0!
When is maximized the positions and dimensions are correct (not +32000).

Other users already gave you a workaround for this, by showing/restoring the
window before closing it. But this does not solve a problem. What if the window
was maximized? You should store this state and then when opening the window set
it to maximized if it was previously maximized.
Unfortunately RB does not provide a way to know if the window is maximized or
not. For this I use the following Windows API before saving the window prefs.
Function IsMaximized(Extends wnd As Window) As Boolean
// Returns if a window is maximized
#If TargetWin32
Soft Declare Function IsZoomed Lib "user32" (hwnd As Integer) As Integer
If System.IsFunctionAvailable( "IsZoomed", "user32" ) Then
If IsZoomed( wnd.WinHWND ) <> 0 Then
Return True
End If
End If
#EndIf
End Function
And on the window CancelClose event I set on my Prefs module the WindowMaximized
property by using:
Prefs.WindowMaximized = Self.IsMaximized
When opening the window, you can use Self.Maximize if the window was previously
maximized.
