GIMP incorrectly shows top bar in Unity after closed maximized
Last modified: 2012-11-11 15:12:37 UTC
Created attachment 228677 [details] Here we see GIMP opened "maximized" after closed maximized. It shouldn't show the top bar. Many Linux users use Ubuntu and the standard shell Unity. Unlike other applications GIMP don't open maximised if it is closed maximised. This happens in the one-window-mode. When reopened after being closed maximised, the program window is too large for the screen space available and extends below the bottom edge of the screen. This was confirmed at least for GIMP. This happens at least for me with a monitor resolution of 1366 x 768.
Created attachment 228678 [details] That's how it should be after closed and restarted when closed maximized.

Do you expect us to use some ubuntu library to do this, or will it come for free when using GtkApplication in GTK+ 3.x?
In your first screenshot, where is the menubar? Why did you hide it?
I maximize GIMP and there isn't a menu bar any more. It's how it should work. No, it would be enough to determine how to fix it with GtkApplikation, but I have only C coding experience to create programs that run in a Terminal :)
Created attachment 228693 [details] Ok the menu bar here it is, sorry Here is the menu bar in the first screenshot.
And then, when I maximize GIMP it's in the top bar the menubar included. But when reopened, GIMP is not maximized :) That's for me the bug. Please ask me if you now understand it.
Err, do you want to say that Ubuntu hacked up GTK+ and moves the menubar up there, and GIMP is supposed to support this hack? I'm so not convinced.
Please make sure your attachments have the right mime-type.
And to me it seems as if Ubuntu manages to do that all by itself, what support from GIMP do you expect?
Ok, Michael, but it works with programs like Rhythmbox, Pitivi, Inkscape, Shotwell,... so I can't tell you how the make it. Yeah, you are the Maintainer of GIMP, so it's your decission if you fix it or not.
Perhaps you can start with telling what exactly doesn't work, you just attached that PNG where ubuntu managed to move the menubar up, so what is "broken"? What works in these apps but doesn't in GIMP?
Ok steps to reproduce: 1) Install the standard Ubuntu 12.10 Image 2) Install GIMP version 2.8.x 3) As you might have seen this is in one-window-mode (you have to switch to it) 4) Then maximize GIMP (see screenshot 2) 5) Close GIMP 6) Open GIMP -> it should look like the same as before(!) 7) Looks like screenshot 3 This should be fixed that it looks like screenshot 2 after reopening. But I'm sorry I can't describe it better in English so if you want to test all this just install a Unity shell if it's available to you. It doesn't only is Ubuntu, because Unity is a modern Shell available on various Distributions.
And for me it's difficult to test it under Windows, Mac Os, GNOME, KDE or XFCE how it's there.
Duplicate of bug #597094?
Yes indeed, this bug is in fact about restoring the maximized state in a new session. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 597094 ***
