Is that really a bug as others are saying? I've always thought of it as making the inverse of the Windows 7 drag-to-top-of-screen-to-maximize (restoring the window) easier, and prefer it that way. More generally, it makes it easier to drag the whole window around again after maximization.

In some sense, it makes Opera at least somewhat more consistent with other regular Windows applications that don't mess around with the titlebar. I actually find it annoying that there's no quick way to manage the maximized browser windows in Chrome or Firefox other than to click that button in the standard window chrome to restore the window, and then proceed.

Except Win+Up/Win+Left/Win+Right/Win+Down then?

Well... sure, I guess, but although I wasn't direct about it in my above comment, the whole discussion was about mouse control right?

If we want to discuss keyboard shortcuts, then Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab/Ctrl+W/Ctrl+T are quick tab management shortcuts that bypass mouse control as well, and that one pixel at the top that makes tab switching by mouse annoying for talles would be rather moot.
