Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Very often when you hit the window restore (unmaximize) button (or double-click the window upper bar in order to do the same thing) Firefox is just unmaximized and right away occupies the whole screen (as if it is maximized again). I check the maximize button each time when this bug occurs and I can assure you that it is switched to "Maximize Window" and not to "Restore Window".

This sounds like what I see a lot after I restore my session.

It's my pleasure to help in improving the best free and open OS (though maybe not so open as Debian...).

The bug is reproducible not only in Firefox, but also in 'gedit'. I'm not sure but in other applications, too.

I can confirm that the bug occurs also in Wine application windows of different emulated applications.
