Once gone to maximized, Vivaldi always start maximized
-
This is an old behaviour on Gnome (Ubuntu 16.04 - 18.4):
Once Vivaldi was maximized, it always starts maximized in the following sessions. One has to open the Settings tab once, without doing anything there, to fix this and to have Vivaldi again starting non-maximized.Mod Edit: Changed "full screen" to "maximized" to match the description. Fullscreen means with no toolbars. Please edit the title again if you really do mean fullscreen.

What's your Vivaldi version?
-
2.2.1388.37 (Stable channel) (64-Bit)
the problem was the same several versions earlier.
-
@JL-Frankfurt Testing with the latest Stable version 2.2 I find that it restarts in whichever mode it was in when I closed it.
Maximized
Not maximized
-
Testing with the latest Stable version 2.2 I find that it restarts in always maximized once it was maximized. I always closed it non-maximited.
Again, I need to just open the settings tab once to fix it back to restart non-maximized. -
ps.
deleting ~/.config/vivaldi and starting fresh makes no change -

Try the clean and temp install (which will not affect the current install. Open the terminal and issue the following command:/usr/bin/vivaldi --user-data-dir="/tmp/VIV-TST" &

@JL-Frankfurt If Vivaldi starts normally, then the issue lies on your profile.
vivaldi://version
shows the full path of your profile. -
Same thing.

Same with Vivaldi 2.2 (newest) on a virtual machine running Ubuntu 18.10.
By contrast, Vivaldi 1.4 does not show this behaviour. It opens as minimized, maximized or not, as expected.Mod Edit: Corrected terminology.

Sure. Even with freshly installed Ubuntu 18.10 in a virtual machine, without touching anything but installing Vivaldi.
Thanks. Quite unconvincing.
