The Maximize button has the wrong appearance/behaviour when snapped to the side

[Matthew Fearnley]

On a plain Ubuntu 16.04 install, if I snap a window with a normal title bar (such as Nautilus) to the side of the screen, then click the Maximize button, it restores to its original size, as if I had dragged it away. Is this supposed to happen?

I notice when a window is properly maximized, the Maximize button changes to a Restore button - a flatter rectangle than the Maximize one.

I think that when a window is snapped to the sides, then either the button should maximize the window, or it should change to a Restore button to indicate the window will be restored to its original position.

The fix that is least likely to cause disruption for existing users is to keep the behaviour but change the appearance of the button.
