Tribler window cannot restore fullscreen mode after reopening

[nullptr-deref]

Description
After setting Tribler window to fullscreen mode and reopening it, it opens strangely resized instead of being opened fullscreen again.

Reproduction

1. Open Tribler.
2. Enter fullscreen mode (click 2nd button on the top right side of the Windows window).
3. Exit Tribler entirely and reopen it.
4. Window appears non-fullscreen but resized awkwardly to fit entire screen.

Expected behavior
Window should appear in a fullscreen mode.

Screenshots
This is how Tribler window looks like right before closing it (as you can see, it fits available screen space properly)...

...And this is how it looks like after reopening (pay attention that desktop background is visible on the left side of the screen, between taskbar and actual Tribler window).

As you can see, it's translated somehow inappropriately and with fullscreen mode disabled.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
• Tribler's version: 7.12.1 stable

Additional context
As far as I've understood, Tribler window remembers its size and position and writes it to GUI settings. I suppose additional field remembering whether it was closed while being opened fullscreen or not should fix the problem.

I can not reproduce it on macOS (tried both 7.12 and 7.13)

Seems like this issue appears only under Windows. Will try to install Tribler under Arch Linux and see what'll happen.

Btw, is there any way to install Tribler under Arch Linux properly? Couldn't manage to do it 'cause pacman repos don't have anything near to python[3]-libtorrent so script makedist_debian.sh fails with the following message:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libtorrent==1.2.15 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for libtorrent==1.2.15

My system is Arch Linux x86_64, kernel: 6.4.3-arch1-1.

We don't support Arch Linux (see supported distributions here), but you can try to build libtorrent from source: https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/blob/RC_2_0/docs/building.rst

Ah, I see. Will try in a couple of days.

Just tested on Ubuntu & is working as expected

@nullptr-deref What if you manually resize the window to a fullscreen size then exit and reopen...

I get a feeling that this issue is windows been weird and not reporting a the resize when clicking the , then tribler does not update the size in the gui_settings, also can you check the value of size in your ~/.config/nl.tudelft.tribler.conf

you should see something like:

family_filter=true
first_discover=true
last_reported_version=7.13.3
minimize_to_tray=false
pos=@Point(578 644)
size=@Size(2149 1119)
translation=@Invalid()
use_monochrome_icon=true

pos and size are the interesting values there from your side

Tribler now has a web-based front end and this issue is no longer relevant.
