[solved] Google Chrome always starts maximized

It is probably a known bug of Gnome 3, that some applications, for example in this case Google Chrome, starts always maximized.
Has anyone of you a solution or a workaround?

Re: [solved] Google Chrome always starts maximized

most likely you have auto-maximize enabled, which maximizes nearly monitor sized windows when they are started.
Try disabling org.gnome.mutter.auto-maximize via dconf
