Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
In the Unity panel, the active target area of the window controls for
maximized windows does not extend to the top 2 pixels on the screen.
This means that great care must be taken to actually click on the
controls.
According to Fitts's law, extending the active area to the top of the
screen would make the controls infinitely tall and greatly increase the
speed at which they can be activated and clicked by the mouse. This
would greatly improve usability of maximized windows in Unity.
