[Bug 708809] Re: The Automaximize windows in Unity value is too low
Regarding the irritating nature of the AutoMaximize feature, I couldn't agree more, and it seems that a lot of people agree with me. The question is, Why would any reasonable developer add a feature that removes functionality and adds irritation?

[Bug 708809] Re: The Automaximize windows in Unity value is too low
I find the automaximize feature very annoying too. The problem is that Unity tries to do something smart which in many cases isn't correct. 1. First, the user is surprised that the window is maximized because when he closed it, it wasn't maximized. This feels to him like a bug. 2. Second, when he realizes this is a feature, he is surprised because the automaximize happens only sometimes. It's not obvious that the size of the window influences the automaximize feature. This is again perceived as a bug. 3. Third, there are cases when you don't want to have the window maximized for some reason (the application's window is used together with other windows and you want to see the other windows too) but it gets maximized every time you start the application. This is HIGHLY annoying. It feels like you don't have the control over the computer but the computer has control over you (my usual feeling from Windows). Moreover, I don't completely understand what this feature tries to achieve. Sure, on small monitors you want to start applications maximized but you have to do it only once - as windows remember their sizes, the application will always start maximized later on. I don't think the single press of the maximize button justifies the annoyance above. Conclusion: in my opinion, this feature shouldn't be on by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708809 Title: The Automaximize windows in Unity value is too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/708809/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 708809] Re: The Automaximize windows in Unity value is too low
Some windows always startup maximized on 11.04 when they where closed while being very large. For example: Open gedit and drag it to one of the sides so it resizes itself to the half of the screen. Something that is very usefull and often done. Then close gedit. Now reopen gedit. It will open fullscreen. Very irritating. Add option to disable auto-maximize. Not auto-maximizing might be better the default on desktops.

Not being able to disable this feature is extremely frustrating to me. If I want something maximized *I* will maximize it, thankyouverymuch. This should have an on/off switch *and* a threshold slider somewhere, probably the Window Preferences panel. This feature also completely hoses fullscreen mode on some third-party games when they're set to fullscreen mode. Spiral Knights, for instance, starts up in full screen mode and gets re-maximized, ending up with the game screen being in the wrong place with a window title bar it doesn't need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708809 Title: The Automaximize windows in Unity value is too low -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I would agree that this is a problem. Perhaps there ought to be an option somewhere for the user to establish the threshold for automaximize.
