Screenshot_20191104_014746.png
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0
Steps to reproduce:
Set mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar to true (and it does not matter how one
does this).
Actual results:
Thunderbird will not open fully maximised; there is small gap between
the top of the screen and the top of the window.
Expected results:
When Thunderbird is set to open maximised - which it should do if (for
one thing?) it is maximised when it is closed - it should open (fully)
maximised.
Extra information is as follows.
I have experienced this bug constantly since the tabs-in-titlebar
feature arrived.
Theme - Thunderbird or OS - seems not to affect the problem.
I have a Hi-DPI system. Some details of my system are as follows.
OS: Linux Mint 19.2 Tina x86_64
Host: 20KHCTO1WW ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th
Resolution: 2560x1440 @ 60.01Hz
DE: Cinnamon 4.2.4
WM: Mutter (Muffin)
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620
I am surprised that no-one has reported this bug before. Perhaps they
have and the Bugzilla search function failed to find the relevant
report(s).
I attach a screenshot. The vertical gap at issue is small but noticeable
enough to irritate.

I can't reproduce using Thunderbird 60.9.0 on Linux Mint 19.2 or Ubuntu
18.04.3 LTS with the pref set to true, and the built-in Dark theme, or
Light and Default themes.
I also don't have the extensive customization the reporter has in the
screenshot.
I also don't have the resolution their monitor displays.
Maybe that is causing a problem?

thank you for your testing; do you have HiDPI? I do (as I said above)
and I have Cinnamon set to scale the screen by a factor of 2.

The problem may be otherwise than I supposed. For, when I disable HiDPI
- I mean: OS global scaling to deal with HiDPI - Thunderbird opens
unmaximised (taking up about a quarter of the screen area), whether or
not it was maximised when shut. So the gap - the gap I see when HiDPI
scaling is on - may result not from an imperfectly maximised window, but
from a window that the program is not even trying to maximise.

. . But that problem - window not maximised at all upon open, when HiDPI
scaling is disabled - *only* happens when 'draw tabs in titlebar' is
enabled. So here we get closer to the root of the problem, I imagine.

No, I don't have HiDPI.

Anyone in a position to try to reproduce the problem, please?

I tested this with the current settings:
* Linux elementary OS, based on Ubuntu 18.04.2, GTK 3.22.30
* mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to `TRUE`
* HiDPI monitor at 3840x2160 with scaling factor `DISABLED`
**Thunderbird 72.0a1**: Closing and reopening maximized works with all the themes. ✔️
**Thunderbird 68.1.1**: Closing and reopening maximized works with all the themes. ✔️
**Thunderbird 60.9.0**: Closing and reopening maximized works with all the themes. ✔️
Which version of GTK are you running?
I wonder if that might be related. Does it happen with Firefox as well?
I know Magnus runs Ubuntu, but I don't know if his version of GTK is
more up to date.
