Bug ID: 472744
Summary: Inconsistent behaviour between shading / maximizing
and restoring windows
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
There's some unexpected behaviour when working with window shading and
maximizing, and especially, when unshading/unmaximizng them. State/size seems
to be lost or not updated at some point.
I first encountered this when I maximized a shaded windows and expected it to
be unshaded (which it wasn't), but although there's something to be said for
keeping a window shaded when maximizing it, but unshading that maximized window
should then keep it maximized, and NOT return it to its previous size. Also, at
that point, the maximize/restore button is still on "I'm maximized, so click me
to restore" mode seems to do nothing.
There's actually a few ways in which this seems to go slightly wrong, but at
least predictably so.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I'm using a Dolphin window for these steps.
1. Open a window, non-maximized
2. Shade the window
3. Maximize it
4. Unshade it
5. Restore it
OBSERVED RESULT
At step 4, the window is unshaded, but also un-maximized and moved to the top
left of the screen; maximize button is still a restore-button at this point.
Also, closing the (Dolphin) window and opening a new one, opens it maximized.
At step 5, the window doesn't move or resize, but the button state is now
"correct".
EXPECTED RESULT
At step 4, I'd expect the window to be unshaded but still maximized.
Step 5 should restore it to its former size and preferably location.
ADDITIONALLY
There's another way in which this goes slightly against what you'd expect:
1. Open a non-maximized window
2. Maximize it
3. Shade it
4. Restore it (window is now shaded, but in its previous location and size)
5. Unshade it (window is now unshaded, in the same location, but suddenly
resized to maximized-size)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, also tried MicroOS, same result.
