[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Save window size and position unexpected restore behavior (Issue #2978)

[elextr]

No before this _both_ position and size were saved with one option, this splits them to each have its own option.  What I'm hoping is that any discussion here explains use-cases, because as you say any original discussion is lost in the mysts of time.  You may be right it just continued original behaviour without thinking, but maybe reason why is mentioned.

Possible reasons I can think of for not loading at all include letting tiling or other self organising window managers do their thing without being upset by Geany requests.  

Just to complete the picture, the use case for loading without saving is to set Geany window size and position the same for each restart, irrespective of changes you made in the previous session, thats your use-case so why do you would want to do that?

And finally the use case to save and restore so Geany continues where it left off so you can continue your previous session.

Perhaps the save and restore need to be decoupled, but there is a default size thats set if none is loaded IIUC.  The whole sizing thing probably needs reconsideration for GTK3, and also the heap of plugin manager sizing error messages when its first opened.
