Jul 18, 2013 at 14:30 comment added Binzhou Xia @DerekHolt:$N_G((PSL_2(16)\times PSL_2(16)).2^2)$ is maximal in $G$ if and only if $G=L$ or $L.2$, so by your computation for $\Gamma O_8^+(4)$, my statement holds. Thank you so much!
Jul 18, 2013 at 10:58 comment added Binzhou Xia @DerekHolt: What if $G$ contains a graph automorphism?
Jul 16, 2013 at 2:38 comment added Binzhou Xia @DerekHolt:By THEOREM A of Liebeck, Praeger and Saxl, The maximal factorizatins of the finite simple groups and their automorphism groups, I would be able to show that if $H$ is not contained in any maximal parabolic subgroup then $H\cap L$ is contained in $(L_2(16)\times L_2(16)).2^2$ (as $C_2$ or $C_3$ subgroup of $L$). Does this help?
Jul 15, 2013 at 8:52 comment added Derek Holt I did some computer calculations in Magma, and I found that the only soluble subgroups of $\Gamma O^+_8(4)$ that were transitive on the 16320 nondegenerate 1-subspaces had nontrivial normal 2-subgroups, so the answer would appear to be yes.
