Can't double-click anywhere on the topbar[menubar] to maximize the windows

[Yann Dìnendal]

Binary package hint: light-themes

As stated by Kenneth Wimer in Bug #534802, there is no need for a visual separation between the title bar and the menu bar, as we can now drag the windows from anywhere in these 2 bars (which now look like a single bar).

But when you double click on the title bar, it (un-)maximizes it. If you double click on the menu bar... Nothing happen!

It is very confusing for users who now expect both thoses bars to behave as one. In fact, many users will not see the difference between the 2 bars, and will not understand why sometimes it doesn't work! It is not consistent at all.

I believe this is a big issue (and while users are not yet used to the left position of the buttons, they might use this method to maximize their windows even more often).

I just discovered that same issue, and though it didn't take me very long to figure it out, it would have been nice if double-clicking on the menubar would have the same consequences as double-clicking on the titlebar.

The menubar dragging option was implemented in gtk , this would need fixing in gtk if not metacity?

not applicable anymore, there is now visual separation / global menu

The global menu doesn't make this invalid as there are many other WMs not implementing the global menu where GTK apps can be used.
