[Interest] QMainWindow state resetting

[Berkay Elbir]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I thought like that and implemented it. But after
restoring default state, mainwindow turns small size and I have to click
fullscreen button to be a fullscreen window.
I think I have to do something to be a fullscreeen windows again after
restoring state.
