Opening a .sh3d file in Sweethome3D, minimized Sweethome3D

Post by surfer63 »

I am using SweetHome3D on an 8GB i5-1245U chromebook with linux (Crostini) enabled. The version 7.5 linux SweetHome3D package works fine as such. I also created a .desktop file for it to make a menu item.

When I open SweetHome3D, it opens normally and everything is fine.
When I open a .sh3d file from SweetHome3D, or double-click a .sh3d file, it is opened, but SweetHome3D is completely minimized. There is a few pixels wide application bar in the center of the screen. When I drag on the left side, I can extend the application bar to the left.
When extended to the left, I can click the maximize menubar icon.

I also used the (unofficial) "X-GNOME-Window-Maximized=true" in the .desktop file, but that one is not recognized.

Note that ChromeOS is Wayland with an X-compatibility layer for X-apps.

I already tried adding

Code: Select all

sleep 1
wmctrl -r "SweetHome3D" -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz
wmctrl -a "SweetHome3D"
to the SweetHome3D script
or add

Code: Select all

-Dsun.awt.noerasebackground=true
or add

Code: Select all

-Djdk.gtk.version=2
to the "java ... -jar" command line

Does anyone have an idea?

It's most likely related to Wayland. The very few problems on Linux are often because of Wayland. Any way you can change to GDM?
