...unless the legacy behavior is requested via
QT_QPA_FB_FORCE_FULLSCREEN=0 or the platform plugin overrides
QFbScreen::flags() to return QFbScreen::DontForceFirstWindowToFullScreen.
The long pending asymmetry between eglfs and linuxfb is going to end
because with the increased focus on the integrated Qt Quick Software
backend the expectation for launching apps with -platform linuxfb is
to behave in the normal, eglfs style, embedded manner. Forcing every
app to handle this manually in QML is silly.
Widget applications also benefit since the old non-fullscreen main
window approach is pretty much never what is wanted (considering there
is no desktop and the content in the background is either garbage or
whatever was on the terminal).
However, not every fbconvenience-based platform wants this. For
example, vnc should remain with the old way where window sizes are not
altered. vnc therefore opts out via QFbScreen::flags().
bsdfb follows the linuxfb behavior.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes] The linuxfb and bsdfb platform
plugins now follow the behavior of eglfs by making the first window
fullscreen. This provides consistency and avoids applications having
to make their windows match the screen size manually. The new behavior
can be disabled by setting the environment variable
QT_QPA_FB_FORCE_FULLSCREEN=0.
