Maximized applications do not occupy the entire space of the screen (clicking on the extreme right brings up the background application)

Bug Description

On 13.04:

Open a terminal, and maximize it. It wll occupy the entire screen.

Open another program, for example Firefox, or LibreOffice.

Go to the extreme right of the screen, and click. Instead of grabing the bar that
moves the screen up and down, the terminal is brought up. Quite anoying.

I cannot record the bug with recordmydesktop, because after launching that,
the problem disapears :-)

I've noticed this with firefox and by unmaxizing and maximizing the application again this no longer happens. So it seems that it is not really starting off maximized.

Yes, agreed, if I open LibreOffice Writer over firefox and do that, I move firefox to top. The maximize
button in LibreOffice is chosen, so that it should be maximized, but indeed, if one minimizes and maximzes again, the
problem disapears. So the problem is only on startup.
