Zotero 7 missing maximize, minimize icons on linux

Sergio Callegari
Hi,
I've updated to the zotero 7 flatpak and installed it on Linux (KDE plasma, wayland session). Unfortunately, the application now has a serious usability problem, since it misses the maximize and minimize buttons in the window decoration. Any clue?

    Sorry, we can only help with the official tarball and zotero-deb.

    Here's the official tarball on Ubuntu:

    A workaround seems to be:

    flatpak run --command=bash org.zotero.Zotero
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"
    exit

    In any case, sorry for the noise about the flatpak. Fact is that flatpak from flathub comes with an `org.zotero.Zotero` name, where the reversed domain `org.zotero` should be the domain of the packager, which gives a sense of official status to the package (and an illusion of support).

    @dstillman I have now tried the `zotero-bin` package from the AUR on Arch linux. That is basically just a way to quickly install/manage the **official tarball** on Arch linux and derivatives (sort of the `zotero-deb` but for arch linux and derivatives). Still no minimize/maximize icons.

    Zotero matches the desktop session provided preferences for window button placement on Linux. Do other applications on your setup have minimize and maximize buttons? Does Firefox (on which Zotero is based)?
