Overall summary

Using a supported version?

I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.

I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
If Signal's window is ever maximized, from that time onwards, Signal will persistently launch with a maximized window.

In config file ~/.config/Signal/ephemeral.json, there is a "window" -> "maximized" setting. This setting changes to true when Signal's window is maximized. This setting does not change to false when the window is unmaximized.

Currently the only to fix the issue is to edit the config file by changing the setting to false.

Steps to reproduce
Launch Signal.
Ensure Signal has not launched with maximized window.
Maximize window.
Unmaximize window.
Close Signal.
Relaunch Signal.
Observe that the window is maximized.
Aside: This might not work on macOS or when Signal Desktop uses the system tray.

Expected result
Signal launches with an unmaximized window.

Actual result
Signal launches with a maximized window.
