I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 and this bug is still present with Xorg AND Wayland.

Apps with a "normal" GTK titlebar (the narrow one), like Firefox, are working according to the settings in Gnome Tweak. So a double- or middle-click on the titlebar maximizes the window f.i. vertically. But when an app has a "Gnome" titlebar (the broad one), f.i. Gedit, then the window is always maximized fully, not only vertically or horizontally.

You can download a screencast of this bug here: https://mega.nz/#!j5BSjaSL!o7E3Kuf061sJQ_tUukpe-3Tf4JTi7NExB3uI-z_ijX4

It shows the behavior of different apps, GTK and QT, with different titlebars:

Deluge (GTK): works
Qpdfview (QT): works
LibreOffice (GTK): works
Gnome Tweak: fails
Gedit: fails

Can somebody confirm this?

Would be great to have a fix soon, since this bug is around for years!
