Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2018-10-30 16:18:20 CET
We currently don't have a consistent idea and behaviour as to what should happen if the remote session resizes when the client window is maximized.

Right now the defined behaviour is:

 * If fullscreen, keep local window size at all times (i.e. stay in fullscreen)

 * If the session size currently perfectly matches the window size, then follow changes to the session size to keep them in sync

 * Otherwise keep the local window size

This fails to handle the fact that the local window manager tends to want to preserve the maximized state of a window. Perhaps a strategy similar to what we do for fullscreen is approriate.

Observed behaviour right now is:

 * Windows: Window resizes if smaller, but window decorations suggest that the window manager still thinks the window is maximized.

 * Linux (GNOME): The window manager allows the resize, then immediately restores the maximized size. This counts as a local resize and triggers a request to resize the server session, effectively undoing the resize from the server to the client.

 * macOS: Not tested.
