Steam window non-resizable after maximized once with openbox

[ghost]

Hi,

I'm using Slackware 14.1 64bit with Steam 1.0.0.49.

I noticed that if I exit from Big Picture the title bar section of the window, where I can double click to maximise the window size or make it smaller, or the minimize/max button on the right side of the window, these no longer work and the window won't resize.

If I start Steam for the fist time I can click the title bar, or minimize/max button and the window resizes, this only seems to be some kind of issue exiting Big Picture that it doesn't work.

If you need any system specs or information let me know...

Looks like this is DE-specific behavior and big picture mode isn't necessarily involved. On MATE and KDE5, Steam maximizes / restores once, but doesn't react to being told to maximize after that. Cinnamon and GNOME 3 are not affected by the quirk behavior.

As an additional note, restoring the Steam window from a minimized state seems to always set the restore/maximize window button to a correct state, even after breaking it.

Tested on LXQt using kwin_x11 and openbox.

Using xfwm4 the issue doesn't seem to occur either.

i have the same problem running Kubuntu 18.04 LTS same with #6089
edit: same problem with KDE Neon

Hello @Chiitoo, are you still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?

[Chiitoo]

Yes with 'openbox', no with 'kwin_x11'.

@kisak-valve Yes the issue is still there with wayfire/wlroots.
Maybe you can share what quirks are needed by steam.

Still an issue on KDE/kwin for me. If I maximize, then restore, the icon stays in the restore state and can't be used to maximize again unless I minimize and unminimize. Steam can also be forced to maximize by right clicking its taskbar entry and clicking maximize.

I doubt that any valve engineer has ever read this, just the qualifier, no offense.
I mean it has been 3 years or more, and they are not adhering to spec, I am a wayland developer and I ask them what they do that is not according to spec, no answer.

EDIT: I stand corrected 5 years where steam is broken on everything except gnome,
not to mention gaben hasn't responded to my email for 2 weeks now.

For me on my manjaro kde 5.19 the problem is solved, could you test it and upgrade your plasma.

In the wlroots case, I noticed one difference from xprop output for steam in X and wayland is that in X, it showed _NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED while wayland did not. After setting this property for the client from the window manager, the bug is fixed. Can now maximize steam repeatedly and the icon maintains correct representation.

Finally upgraded to new distro version, problem is resolved. I wonder if this is because KDE worked around broken usage like GPU drivers tend to do or KDE did something wrong before? I doubt the latter since this affected more than KDE.
