I haven't noticed that until now, but I agree this is irritating, especially 
when one doesn't know to just move the window to the top to fullscreen it once 
more.

I always use alt + drag to move a window, as a windows user I would only find 
it by accident, the established move window workflow is the top bar =/

Do any of you longtime users really drag windows around by finding an 
background of the window instead of using alt+drag?
