Widget fullscreen UX feels like a toggle, but isn't (resulting in **suprise**)

Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to:

• click the two diagonal arrows to open the widget full screen
• click it again to go back to pinned

Instead I click it again and it disappears! And I am surprised.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Additional context

This feedback has been echoed by a customer, too.

Yes, this is effectively the same as #20506. We tried to improve this somewhat in matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#7734 by explicitly showing both maximise and pin actions, but perhaps it's not enough.

To summarise the current state, at the moment, "pinned" and "maximised" are really locations a widget moves to (as opposed to independent flags), so when you maximise, the widget has no knowledge that it used to be pinned.

@lampholder, did you notice the separate pin button which would have pinned it? It might be best to transform this report into an additional feedback comment on #20506.

I think this is a duplicate of #20506. @lampholder if you disagree, please re-open.
