First, many huge thanks to people hard-working on QubesOS. I’ve been using it as my working environment for over 2 years, and it’s a secure, reliable, stable, robust, and very convenient OS (tons of little details make life easier).
Without enshittification (which is rare, precious, and great).
I managed to do what is in the title of my post in the 4.2 versions, but can’t remind nor find how to do so in my brand new 4.3.1 install.
I had similar hiccups with window snapping after updating to r4.3, but maximizing happened to just work (snap to the edge did not). I also have windows extending beyond the bottom of the screen. xfce forum or search engine is likely the quickest route to a fix..
My interface is in French, but I finally recalled going through
« Peaufinage des fenêtres » (Windows Tweak)
rather than
« Gestionnaire des fenêtres » (Windows manager)
in
“Systems settings”.
It looks like I had a temporary bug:
Unchecking & rechecking the item made it work as it used to.
