Please help. | grennis | 8/2/10 6:56 PM | Pressing Ctrl+Space, X, only works to maximize the window for that one time. The next time I run Chrome, it appears way down in the right corner again.

Please help. | sifugreg | 9/10/10 1:19 PM | Another nugget: If there is an existing chrome window open, this behavior does not persist.
