It may be a feature rather than a bug.  If your window manager is set
to maximize a window as a result of a click or double click on the
title bar of a window.  Some such settings can result in an accidental
invocation.  One system I have worked on caused the window to roll up
like a window shade if you just pause the cursor too long over the
title bar.  May be cool to some folks, it is a PITA to me.
