Windows unminimize themselves when switching from tablet mode to laptop mode

Project Member Reported by briannorris@chromium.org, Oct 29 2016

Issue description

From:

https://feedback.corp.google.com/#/Report/14592315321

Description:
Windows unminimize themselves when switching from tablet mode to laptop mode.

Steps:
1. Flip screen over, to use device in tablet mode
2. Minimize Chrome window (to see my wonderful wallpaper on this wonderful screen)
3. Flip screen back to laptop mode

Expected:
4. Still see my beautiful wallpaper / desktop

What happened:
4. My Chrome window popped back up to the foreground, obscuring the view of my wallpaper

Note that this behavior appears on two different convertible Chromebook models. I've only tested R55 dev right now, so I don't know if this is a regression.

Also, it's important to do the steps in the order mentioned. If I invert steps 1 and 2, things stay minimized as expected.

This happens to window that are minimized during tablet mode.

+skuhne@, kuscher@ Is this intentional or bug?
Usually the handling is as follows:

All windows should be restored to their state before entering maximize mode.

Exception: If the user changed the state while being in maximize mode (e.g. the user maximized a previously unmaximizable window - or - he minimized a window) then the window should be kept in the new user's requested state.
ARC++ maximized window currently does opposite. (If you maximize M non resizable app in tablet mode, it will unmaximize when you exit tablet mode).

Let's have a quick chat about it because both ARC++/Chrome windows should have consistent behavior.
I could reproduce it with Chrome windows.
Agree with comment #3 - restore to previous state unless modified state by user (e.g. in this case minimize)

Re comment #4 - my personal opinion is that we should keep the same behavior on both ARC++ and the rest of the windows. So in this case, since the user maximized by themselves, we should keep the maximized window when switching back.

Thoughts?
