Are you using programs (like games), which may change screen resolution or do you switch users (also can change screen resolution)? Or do you use more than one monitor sometimes?<br />
Opera may not like such environment changes (many other programs do not) and may write some strange info into configuration and next time be not able to use it.</p>

</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Not sure. It's working fine for me and we've tested that the setting is saved properly. You tested in a standalone installation (which gives you a fresh profile to rule out problems with your profile), and it still does it. So, I doubt that it's an issue with your profile. Maybe there's some external program that interferes with Opera. Bitdefender, Sandboxie and IDM have been known to mess with Opera.</p>

<p dir="auto">Root is selected, so the panel on the right just shows the properties of "root".</p>
<p dir="auto">Just make sure the node type of "windows_placement" is "object", the node type of "height", "left", "top", and "width" are "integer", and "maximized" is "boolean".</p>
<p dir="auto">Note that the version you're using is Opera Beta and not Opera Stable.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, do a test. Download the Opera installer (of whatever version of Opera you want to use), launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install.</p>
<p dir="auto">Test in that Opera, but do not enable Opera Sync and do not install any extensions.</p>
<p dir="auto">How does that Opera work. When you close it maximized, does it open maximized?</p>
