window doesn't maximize

[Regina Drazhi]

Binary package hint: inkscape

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.46-2ubuntu2
Severity: important

When I try to
maximize the main window of inkscape it stays in the same
position and loses
decoration at the window sides (better explained by
the screenshot). The
system is up-to-date.

The bug should be fixed with the upcoming release of inkscape.
The problem is that the minimum height of the window is high, and it's
impossible for it to get maximized. This is due to the large number
of drawing tools.
Actually a workaround is to detach one toolbar to make space on the left,
maximize the window, then reattach the toolbar.

My thanks for all those who keep responding. I don't know how to get rid of that original bug report not being a technologist. If you know how to help me prevent further responses from others I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
