APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the config service setting portlet.automaximize is set to
  true or the per-portlet automaximize feature is activated, a
  portlets state, that was automatically maximized prior, will be
  reset on any action that is performed. But it should only be
  reset if the portlet changes its mode back to view. This
  behaviour can be seen on IBM legacy portlets.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• If the config service setting portlet.automaximize is set to
  true or the per-portlet automaximize feature is activated, a
  portlets state, that was automatically maximized prior, will be
  reset on any action that is performed. It should only be reset
  if the portlet changes its mode back to view. This behaviour can
  be seen on IBM legacy portlets.
  
  Note:
  
  If the IBM theme is used with the automaximize feature on WP
  6.0.1.x, there could be a problem with the "Back"-Link in the
  themes portlet-context-menu. This link normally keeps the
  maximized state, also when going back to View mode. To fix this
  edit the file
  
  
  <wp-profile-root>\installedApps\<node-name>\wps.ear\wps.war\them
  es\html\IBM\portletContextMenu.jsp
  
  and search for this line:
  
     <c-rt:if
  test='<'=!pMode.equals(javax.portlet.PortletMode.VIEW)'>'
  ><portal-navigation:urlGeneration contentNode="<'=pageID'>" ...
  
  Change it to restore to normal window state:
  
     <c-rt:if
  test='<'=!pMode.equals(javax.portlet.PortletMode.VIEW)'>'
  ><portal-navigation:urlGeneration portletWindowState="normal"
  contentNode="<'=pageID'>" ...
  
  With the added portletWindowState="normal" property, the window
  state will always be restored to normal on clicking the "Back"
  link in the theme.
  
  In custom themes only the <portletBack/> tag should be used.
  This tag is aware of the autmaximize feature.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed legacy URL generation code to generate restore only if
  a return uri is requested.
