Comment 3 for bug 205658

Personally, I don't have a problem with the hover space though I can see how it can be a problem if the user has a distracting background.

The real problem arises from the fact that the maximized window is forced to repaint. In the case of most applications, this is not a problem (you don't see much changing, except for the bottom border moving up and down).

In the case of OO.org, however, the repainting causes visual artifacts and the entire window flickers (toolbars and all), which _is_ quite annoying. As a bonus, the window is unresponsive while the repaint takes place.
