Maximize->Fullscreen->exit Fullscreen->Fullsize

[QF006]

Hi,
This has "always" happened to me (currently using 2.2.1.), when I maximize the player window, then go to fullscreen (double-click the video or use the view menu), then exit fullscreen (double-click or ESC-key), I do get the restore button in the upper-right corner, but when I click it, the player window goes to desktop size instead of reverting to its former size.
Regards,
Siggy

I can't reproduce the issue, it' working fine for me.

Reset the preferences:

Even after resetting of the preferences it happens. Here is exactly what I did:

• Start VLC, it consumes perhaps a quarter of the screen (Screen=1920x1080)
• Play a video, the VLC window grows to the size of the video
• Click the "Maximize" button of the VLC window
• Double-click the video, VLC is now full-screen
• Double-click the video, the VLC window now shows the "Restore Down" button
• Click the "Restore Down" button, the VLC window now consumes the entire desktop instead of shrinking back to the size of the video

This I see with Windows 7 or 10 (64-bit). I can live with it as I have a tool that resizes and restores the VLC window via FindWindow() and SetWindowPos() (in MFC).

You have maximized VLC before going fullscreen, therefore it goes back to the last state before fullscreen which is in your case the maximized size.
Don't maximize.

It seems as if the sizes are not 'stacked', i.e. there are three sizes/states: normal - maximised - fullscreen
Theoretically VLC or Windows could remember the 'normal' size when the 'restore' button is clicked.
This works with Windows Media Player (using either double-click or Alt-Enter to switch between maximized and full-screen). It is not important to me as I only run into it when I make a mistake. I can live with it and therefore I consider this closed. Only wanted to mention it, maybe there are more who are surprised by this behaviour.

apparently fixed in 3.0!
