Description krishnaraj_s 2006-03-16 08:18:07 UTC
When the application is started, as per the platform feature we try to 
remember the window positions during the previous run etc.,

But the problem is that when I minimize the application and in taskbar right 
click and close the application. At the next start of the applictaion, it 
comes as minimized. The User is of the impression that startup is failed, as 
they may not notice in the taskbar.

Also sometimes, when I maximise / restore, all of the child components are not 
repainted. e.g., Neubar, toolbar etc., I need to minimize and maximize again 
to see all teh components of the application. In my Applictaion I do the 
following

WindowManager.getDefault().getMainWindow().setExtendedState
(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
WindowManager.getDefault().getMainWindow().setVisible(true);

On a particular action i will hide the application and from systemtray icon i 
call the above menthods.

First issue can be observd in NB IDE always.
Second issue occurs rarely & sporadic in IDE and Applictaion.

Reproduced, accepted. I tried other apps (Firefox ect) and indeed it seems that
they *don't* keep minimized state. Minor issue IMHO, edge case.
