[Bug 305558] Re: vertical maximize when double clicking on titlebar

Make sure that in System/Preferences/Windows the dialog is set as in the
screenshot. You get in System by clicking on the third menu at the top
of your screen (next to applications and locations). Preferences is the
first submenu, windows is the last menu from within preferences.

Open a application window, say firefox. Make sure it is only part of the
screen, so it may not be maximized. Double click on the titelbar,
assuming you have used firefox, then the titlebar is where the text is
"Your homepage's title - Mozilla Firefox".

If it was working correct, then it should only maximise in the vertical
direction, that means that the titlebar is now at the top of your screen
and the statusbar in now at the bottom of your screen. Instead I get a
full maximise, so it also gets maximized in the horizontal direction.

This is an irritating but, especially on widescreen monitors.

BTW, the dialog has the name gnome-window-properties (seen from the
output of ps aux).
