Automatically maximize large windows

[danirabbit]

This is a feature that GNOME Shell uses and so a lot of GNOME apps aren't keeping track of their window state. It would make things a little smoother to automatically maximize any window that is within some reasonable delta of the display size, like 6-12px or something.

I believe we previously removed a similar behavior that used percentage, which would yield a lot of unintentional maximizes on various display sizes

Hi.

I remember trying Gnome and this feature was infuriating on smaller screens.

Since there is a possibility that maximize windows will be moved to a new workspace, not only users will not have control over window size, but what workspace they want to open an app.

This is quite a valid concern. If we want that I think that in this case: a) moving should happen only when you maximize a window through the button or snap it to the top b) choosing a really small delta that the window will maximize.

I understand what you're saying on a), but I think that creating exceptions like that makes it feel unpredictable, even if it's not. I see this especially in the following cases where an user doesn't know if this is really meant to be or if is just a bug: #551 #573
