App windows no longer auto-semi-maximize when resized to the screen edge

[Mugsy323]

A minor cosmetic interface "bug" that may or may not be x.org related. This is regarding the GUI (Gnome issue?) but there is no "package" related to the GUI.

Ubuntu used to auto-resize a window from top to bottom of the screen simply by dragging the top of the window to the to of the screen (just as MS Windows does.)

Ubu 18.04 seems to no longer support this (or the feature is broken.)

To see what I mean, open any app (such as a terminal window) and drag the top of the window to the top of the screen. This used to also auto-expand the bottom of the window to the bottom of the screen, but no longer.

This was particularly useful when viewing "Details" in the "Software Updater". But now, after resizing the window, the progress bars do not fill the window to match, remaining in a tiny box with empty space below it.

Please fix or return the GUI to its previous way of working.
