Main window in master does not fit on 1360 pixel width screen

Original Redmine Issue: 17552
Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:map_canvas

Related issue: #25132

My computer has two screens, but Qgis was started up on the screen that is 1360x768.
The other screen is 1600x1200.
On the 1600x1200 screen the main window displays maximized as expected and only gives the funny resize behavior seen in #25132 when the project is saved.

On the 1360x768 screen as soon as the window is dragged onto this screen and maximized, the window refuses to stay maximized to this screen size and resizes itself to a greater width and also pushes the window lower on the screen by about the height of the title bar so the window is no longer at the top of the screen.

This is a resized screen. What seems to be happening is the screen size is expanded to provide enough room to display messages in the status bar, so a long message pushes the window much wider for space. I have seen some windows nearly twice the width of the screen and it seems to be happening whenever a status message needs to be displayed. The most common time is when the project is saved (as referred to in #25132)

This is probably actually the same as #25132

Here's a more extreme example, all that empty space on the status bar was needed to display a save message with the full save path displayed.

• description was changed from Related issue: 17233

My computer has two screens, but Qgis was started up on the screen that is 1360x768.
The other screen is 1600x1200.
On the 1600x1200 screen the main window displays maximised as expected and only gives the funny resize behaviour seen in bug 17233 when the project is saved.

On the 1360x768 screen as soon as the window is dragged onto this screen and maximised, the window refuses to stay maximised to this screen size and resizes itself to a greater width and also pushes the window lower on the screen by about the height of the title bar so the window is no longer at the top of the screen.
