Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

A similar issue solved by bug 710356 happens when using the "vertical maximization" of windows. I mean, if you just middle-click on the maximize window control, the window should be vertically maximized, but due to the shadow-grabbing feature there's still a bottom edge not filled with the application content (cause the shadow uses it!).

So, to reproduce it, just: middle-click over a maximize button.

I've attached a work in progress patch to bug 772972 which is (or will be) solved by the same changes. The patch still has a minor bug but mostly solves the problem already.

@smspillaz, you should probably assign this one to yourself.

I would guess that you're the one who probably fixed this bug... (intentionally?)
