Bug Description

bq M10 rc-proposed r112

When staring Browser app in landscape first I see splash screen, then the Browser window which is squared and then the complete Browser window with tabs opened. For the beter UX the second step should be skipped or that window should take the full width of the tablet.
Screenshot of the problem attached.

I don’t have my M10 handy for confirming right now, but my guess is that the initial window size (100GU×75GU) is what causes this visual glitch. I always thought that when running non-windowed, the size hints of the windows would be overridden by the size of the screen. A bug in qtubuntu maybe?

I've just tried in 'desktop mode' with the Browser window maximized. And the issue is not visible there. The window takes the full screen width.

I've noticed some other apps have the same problem. Maybe it's Unity 8 bug?

The browser seems to be more broken than other apps in resizing so probably needs a fix all of its own. So that's this bug.

The more general resize problem is covered by bug 1540702.

With the new Unity 8 on bq M10 rc-proposed r219 the issue seems to be gone. I can't reproduce it with the Browser app or with any other app.
