Marked Not a Bug too early? No response

I did the following bug report about Factorio 0.15.19 going Full Screen even after setting it to windowed mode some day ago. It was marked Not a Bug, but I'm not convinced about whether or not that's the case.

I have seen the changelog of 0.15.19 before posting that bug report. Would somebody please explain what's the actual case? Does that update resets the settings on purpose?

Is on by default, but what about my game where I ALREADY had it set to windowed mode?

Did you adjust it from the default setting?

I think what Gergely is saying is that he "explicitly" set Factorio in windowed mode before 0.15.19 (Options > Graphics > uncheck Full screen), but when updated to 0.15.19, it ignored the previous setting and started in fullscreen.
It is a little bit inconvenient, especially for those who are used to checking websites or doing other stuff while running Factorio.
It would be perfect if the previous setting is preserved.
Edit: I see the problem now.
Any setting that is equal to its default value is automatically commented in config.ini. It tells the game to use the default value.
So even if we turned on and then off fullscreen, it is still using the default value because "off" is the default value before 0.15.19.
I think it is not a very good design. When a user changed something, the game / app should remember the new value and should not use the default value anymore.

I did try out full screen mode once. (To see how well does the game handle full screen.) But that was back when 0.13 became stable. Ever since, I have never turned on Full Screen on purpose.

That's right. That is what I said in the Bug Report.
