Brackets: Start with a taller window, remember window size from previous run

[joyously]

I would like to see this feature added to Brackets.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Brackets
2. Size the window as desired
3. Close Brackets
4. Open Brackets

Expected behavior: The second(and subsequent) time Brackets opens, the window is the same size as it was when it was closed.

Actual behavior: Every time Brackets opens, you have to size the window to a workable size.

Versions

I'm running Ubuntu Studio 16.04 with Brackets Release 1.8 experimental build 1.8.0-17108

I can reproduce on a macOS system.

Thanks for the report @joyously & repro @johnroper100. Couldn't replicate this on Win10 just now, so might be Mac/Linux only 🤔

I quite sure on Linux this doesn't work at the moment.
I wasn't able to reproduce on macOS El Capitan and I'm a bit surprised @johnroper100 you were able to.
Are you using a newer version?

[petetnt]

Couldn't replicate the size issue on MacOS either, but Brackets always opens to my main screen (laptop) instead of the screen it was on last time (desktop display). The size is correct though (corner to corner).

I can't replicate on Windows 10.

I can't reproduce this on macOS Sierra 10.12.4.

I have the same issue on a Windows 10 machine.

edit: was able to get Brackets to remember the window size upon exit by pressing Ctrl-Alt while clicking (X) to close the app window. Took a couple times then Brackets opened the way I last exited.

I can't reproduce this issue on macOS High Sierra, version 10.13.1.

Thanks for confirming @literallysofia! Anyone have a Linux distro at hand to see if this is fixed on Linux too?

Hi ! I'm a student and I want to try to solve this issue for Linux.
However, i can't install with _npm install_ :

I have try to do : _npm install husky --save-dev_
I search on _Google_ and at _npm bugs husky_ but i have no answer.

If someone have the solution, i'll take it (of course i'm still searching !) ! 🤕

[IMOUNGA]

I solved the problem.
In the beginnig I had just : apt-get install nodejs
But it's not enough you have to do : apt install nodejs-legacy

I hope it help someone ! 👍🏿

I read this in the bracket-shell file : client_handler.cpp -
" // CefWIndowInfo.height/.width aren't impelemented on Linux for some reason
// we'll want to revisit this when we integrate the next version of CEF
"

I think it's the reason why we can't resolved this issue

[joyously]

I just installed the new version which says on the About: Release 1.14 build 1.14.0-17740 (release 329d08ffc)
The first time I opened it, the window was fullscreen, unlike before when it was small. I changed it to my preference and the second time I opened it, it was my preferred size.
So I considered this fixed.
