Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. open the Unity 2D dashboard or click on the 'Applications' or 'Files &
Folders' lenses.
2. if your native screen resolution is 1280x800 the views do not open full
screen. (this may be by design. please read further)
3. click on the icon in the bottom right hand corner to force the view to
full screen.
4. close the view (clicking the ubuntu logo in the top left hand corner will
accomplish this)
5. repeat step 1. the views have returned to their default state (not full
screen)
Expected behavior:
When I tell Unity 2D that I prefer the dashboard or lens views to display
full screen (by clicking the icon in the bottom right hand corner) I expect
that subsequent visits to those same views maintain that preference in the same
way that Unity 2D honors both the 'Shortcuts' (on the dashboard) and 'Refine
Search' ( 'Applications' or 'Files & Folders' lenses) options when they are
re-opened. Why is the full screen behavior different than the others? It
shouldn't be. It's EXTREMELY frustrating to have to force Unity 2D to take
advantage of ALL my screen real-estate EVERY single time when I use the views.
Proposed (recommended) solution:
Have Unity 2D store the full screen state of the dashboard or lense view when
it's closed. The next time the user opens the view Unity 2D can check the
previous state and restore it instead of resetting to it's default. This could
be accomplished as easily as checking a key like "dash_fullscreen = 1". Similar
to the other options mentioned above this preference should last the entire
session until I log out.
Proposed (long term) solution:
A native Unity 2D (user configurable) settings page with a checkbox for full
screen preference. If this solution is chosen it should persist permanently and
the preference restored among multiple sessions as well as reboots.
