Quicken doesn't properly save the window size and position when closed in maximized mode

Chris_QPW

This is a minor one but should be fixed.

If you exit Quicken it should remember both that it is maximized and what the size and position was before it was maximized.

To illustrate this, take your web browser and start in a normal windowed (not maximized mode).

Now maximize it and then close it. Now open it again. It will start maximized. Next select the "Maximize/restore down" icon to go back into normal windowed mode. You will see that it goes back to the size/position it was before you maximized it.

Now repeat this for Quicken Windows. What you will find is that Quicken saved the "windowed size/position" as the full screen. In other words, when you select the "Maximize/restore down" icon after opening Quicken the second time, it will appear like it hasn't left maximized mode. But it has, it is just that Quicken Windows has "forgotten" the normal windowed size/position (by overwriting it with the size it was when it closed in maximized mode).

This tends to be minor because people usually either always work in windowed or maximized mode, but it really shouldn't work this way.

This has been a minor bug forever. If you look in QUSER.INI, you may see

[Window]
State=Maximized
Height=1029
Width=1919

[Window]
State=Normal
Height=1029
Width=1919

When maximized, the height and width should be ignored.

The fact that the maximized size and position is stored in that config file tells me that they are saving the size and position at the wrong time.

The size and position should be stored after the user has changed the size and/or position of the main window, but not when it is maximized or closing (but the status of whether it is maximized or not should be saved when Quicken is closed). So, when opening Quicken and the code goes to restore it the size and position saved in the config file will be correct for setting the Quicken main window, combined with the fact that it is normal or maximized will have it in the right state.
