I want to keep track of the current position of a JFrame so that I can put it back in the same place next time it's created, so I have listeners for moves and resizes. I also have a listener for maximisation: if the user maximises the window, I want the stored size and position to stay unchanged. If the user closes the JFrame when it's maximised and then re-opens it, I want then to be able to un-maximise the JFrame to its previous size.
This seems straightforward enough, but there's a snag. When the JFrame is maximised, the sequence of events seems to be:
Moved: (top left, same size as before)
State changed: maximised
Resized: (top left, large as possible)
There's an "extra" move, which is indistinguishable from the user moving the window to the top left, except that it is shortly followed by a state change. The result of this is that if the user closes a maximised JFrame, re-opens it and un-maximises it, it's attached itself to the top left of the screen, instead of going back where it should be.
Here's a simplified example that shows the event sequence:
