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

[elextr]

> disrupting some window managers is probably not the reason for the current restore behavior.

As I said, it was all I could think of, thats why the search for previous discussions before removing the ability to not load geometry.

> Since Geany sets (requests) the window size anyway,

Yes, thats one of the things I mean by the whole sizing thing needs rethinking.  A new app with no content may need to set it or the status bar will be jammed under the toolbar, but Gnome HIG recommends if content is restored then size should be restored (but not position, why?).

> And also sidebar/msgwin save/restore behavior.

As above.

> So this issue could be resolved by changing the name

Agree name is misleading.

The whole thing needs a step back and rethink by someone who understands the GTK3 sizing approach, and thats not me.
