Bug Description

It's just this one specific window, the Gnome Tweaks window, it refuses to maximize, I've tried double clicking on the title bar, I've tried enabling the animations, I've tried changing all Gnome Tweaks settings to their defaults and restarted the laptop, but nothing works, every time I click the button to maximize it acts as if it did, with the look of the button changing to imply it's maximized, and the windows changes its place slightly, it's as if it's trying to maximize, but can't.

Regarding maximizing the window, the button between the one that minimizes it and the one that closes it, with the icon that's just a plain square, it works in every application and I'm sure it worked in Gnome Tweaks when I started using it, however the error I'm having is that now when I click it instead of maximizing the window as it should, it does an animation for a brief second, like it's trying to maximize it, but can't, so it goes back to normal, with one key difference, the square icon, which is used to maximize, becomes the icon with the duo of squares, one over the other in an angle, the button used in maximized windows to minimize them, which means that the system recognizes the window as maximized, even though it's not.
