[MCL-19649] Fullscreen option reverts in .conf files

setting "fullscreen": true in window_settings_launcher.conf works when opened but reverts to false after closing the launcher. The same thing happens with window_settings_log.conf

Does MCL-14797 describe your issue?

The issue described in MCL-14797 is not the same. The issues are with different files. However, it is possible that the underlying cause is the same.

Hi there!

Does this issue still occur on the newest version of the Launcher?
Could you record a video of the issue?
Could you please provide more in-depth repro-steps for this issue?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Yes, the issue still persists in version Linux 5.13.0-30-generic 2.2.11106 on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

Here are the steps to reproduce as shown in the video:

change fullscreen to true in window_settings_launcher.conf
open the Minecraft launcher, it will start in fullscreen
close the Minecraft launcher, do not resize the window
window_settings_launcher.conf is now back the default. Opening the Minecraft launcher again will no longer start it in fullscreen.

I should add that the video is edited to speed up the loading time. There is no bug with the animation.

It's been a while and this is still unresolved. For anyone who's also experiencing this issue, you can set the files to read-only as a temporary workaround.

cd ~/.minecraft
sed -i 's/"fullscreen" : false/"fullscreen" : true/' window_settings_launcher.conf window_settings_log.conf
chmod 444 window_settings_launcher.conf window_settings_log.conf

I recommend following this issue if you're gonna do this. Changing the file rights back after this issue is fixed could help avoid issues in the future.
