1. Open a browser window that's about half the size of your screen 2. Press Ctrl+N 3. Note that the new window is the same size as the old window 4. Enter Full Screen mode 5. Press Ctrl+N Expected Results: a new window opens that's the same size as the one opened in step 2 Actual Results: a window opens that's the size of the entire screen, but in restored state

Hi, is anything being done with this bug as it still features itself in 1.1. If I run Mozilla 1.1 as full-screen and open new window, why the window is semi-maximized, i.e. still has "maximize"-button in the top left corner instead of "restore down"-button? I would expect that opening a new window while in full-screen whould open either another window in full-screen or another window in default size and not in a mix of these two as it happens now. In comparasion, full-screen IE6.0 opens a new maximized window. I think this bug causes the bug 126814

When a new window is open with Ctrl+N or right clicking a link and opener is full screen, the new window SHOULD NOT inherit size from opener: new window should rather be the size opener *would have* if in normal state.

I need to add that it _is_ a bug because new windows are hard to close since their title bar is likely to be north of the screen top margin. If a user exits Mozilla, by default all the windows created by Mozilla will the size of the screen.

Taking. Joe Hewitt(gone) is inactive and this bug will fall naturally out of bug 231843, if I ever get that one fixed...

Realated to Firefox bug 210048

I've got a laptop with 1600x1200 resolution... and a 2nd monitor with 1280x1024... I have FireFox running on the 2nd monitor. When I press CTRL-N, the new window is sized at 1600x1200 and, therefore, the edges extend PAST the monitor's edges.

Neil, do you agree with bug 210048 comment 3? not clear to me what is requested here makes sense.

I think it makes sense to try and fix this bug for two reasons: 1) IE6 and IE7 behave as described in bug 210048 comment 3, so some users might expect the same behaviour 2) The current behaviour creates slight problems as described in bug 210048 comment 4 and bug 210048 comment 7.

(In reply to comment #9) >1) IE6 and IE7 behave as described in bug 210048 comment 3 They do? I just tried IE6 and the behaviour I got was that when the existing window is full screen then it opens a maximised window whereas our behaviour (on windows, since that's all I have) is that it opens a window resized to fill the screen. I think it's a bug that the OS doesn't think the full screen window is maximised, and I also think that it should be possible to restore it from the OS system menu and that a new window opened from a full screen window should have a normal default size but open in the maximised state.

I just tried IE6 and the behaviour I got was that when the existing > window is full screen then it opens a maximised window Yes, I verified on IE6. Going full screen and hitting Ctrl-N I have a maximized window that can be restored to default size. On IE7 the same steps create a normal window default size. Both these behaviours are OK in my opinion, with a slight preference for the second (IE7). I agree with your view: opening a new window maximised that can be restored to default size with the system menu (like IE6) would be OK: it would solve the problems outlined in comment #4. Opening a window default size is nicer in my opinion from a usability standpont. I think a user chooses to go full screen to have the widest possible space for what is being read, but wants popups or new windows to stand out and be easily moved.

I have tested the behaviour in my current installation: FF 3.0.4 on Windows XP and it works as I described in my previous post. I agree to close this bug, at least in 3.0.

I still experience this bug with FF 3.0.10 on XP. Start with a restored window at a normal size, and enter full screen mode. 1. Open a new window; this one should be restored and correctly sized. 2. Go back to the full screen window and open another new window; this one will be restored but maximally sized. 3. Go back to the full screen window and exit full screen mode; it should return to its correct restored size. 4. Open a new window; this one will also be maximally sized. 5. Go back to the first window and open another new window; this one will be correctly sized again. Playing around with different combinations of opening new windows, maximize, restore, and full screen shows a lot of strangeness indeed. For example, Maximize;F11;F11;Restore also causes the restored window to be maximally sized (though this one may take more than one try).
