Is the Maximize button supposed to restore windows snapped to the sides?

Asked by Matthew Fearnley

On a plain Ubuntu 16.04 install, if I snap a window to the side of the screen, then click the Maximize button, it restores to its original size, as if I had dragged it away. Is this supposed to happen?

I notice when a window is properly maximized, the Maximize button changes to a Restore button - a flatter rectangle than the Maximize one.

I think that when a window is snapped to the sides, then either the button should maximize the window, or it should change to a Restore button to indicate the window will be restored to its original position.

Is this a bug? Do I need to file a bug report about this somewhere?
