Window size setting requests not being ignored while in full screen

[hyuri]

Describe the bug

My app has multiple pages. Two of them set a specific window size. When I go into full screen, go to another page and come back, Toga still applies the size requested by the page, drawing it small from screen lower-left over a black background.

Shouldn't Toga ignore the size setting if the app/window is in full screen?

Edit: If I switch to another app (Command + Tab) and back, the issue is no longer present — meaning: the page fills the full screen again.

Possibly Related:

When I enter full screen using the green window button (macOS) and check app.is_full_screen and window.full_screen, both report False. If I enter full screen by setting window.full_screen = True, window.full_screen does report True, while app.is_full_screen still reports False.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a page that sets a window size
2. Go into full screen, using the green window button
3. Go to another page
4. Come back to the page that sets a window size
5. See issue

Expected behavior

Toga should ignore window size setting when app/window is in full screen.

Additional context

Related to the lower-left alignment aspect:

Is macOS using a flipped coordinate system? Seems to be the case considering the error above shows the page apparently being drawn from a lower-left origin, so maybe why #2855 is happening?

I'm not able to reproduce the problem you're describing - but I'm not sure if that's because I'm misunderstanding your description of the problem. In particular, there's a difference between "full screen" (maximized) on a window, and "full screen" presentation mode on the app; I haven't been able to reproduce the behaviour your describe with either - but app-level presentation mode, I also don't have the ability to switch to a different workspace.

It's always a lot more helpful to have a proof-of-concept app, rather than a word description of a problem; that makes it a lot easier to triage a problem, as we can start with a "not working" case, rather than trying to work out how to manufacture one. If you can provide a worked example of this behavior, I can take another look and see what is going on.

Regarding the specific question about macOS coordinate systems - yes, macOS's default coordinate system puts 0,0 at the bottom left of the screen; however, that's unlikely to be the cause of what is going on here. It definitely impacts how the window is displayed, but it shouldn't be altering the resize behavior.

I've also add it to the original report.

Also: I forgot to mention that when I switch to another app and switch back, the issue is resolved — the window now fills the full screen again. I've updated the description to include that info.

I've attached a screen recording, showing the issue, to the original report.

Ok - I can confirm I can reproduce the problem with the provided code. Some more debugging is required to determine why the "non maximized" window size is being applied when the window isn't maximised.
