Bug Description
The window doesn't maximize (take the full screen) and window controls disappear when maximizing a window that has been set to half the screen. Tested applications include firefox, evince and lyx.
Steps:
1. Open application
2. Drag the title bar to a side of the screen. The window will take half the screen
3. Click on the maximize button
=> Window does not maximize
=> Title bar disappears
=> Window minus title bar takes up the whole vertical space
=> Menu bar at the top is not affected, controls do not appear
Temporary fix:
Position the cursor in a top corner of the window as to resize it and to bring back the title bar and controls.
[kernel 3.1.3, Unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1, compiz 0.9.6]

I'm not quite able to fully reproduce this. After step 3, my window does indeed fail to maximize, but my title bar remains visible, as do the window controls. Upon clicking maximize again the window does successfully maximize. This is from a unity-3d session, running compiz. I tested this using firefox, thunderbird, and evince. Though I can't fully reproduce this, I am definitely seeing some peculiar behavior when attempting to maximize half-screen windows, so I'll mark this confirmed.
