Details

In the latest version there is a bug using gnome shell. It is well possible to shrink the window, and drag it to a fullscreen-size, but it is not possible to really maximize the window, like you would do when you doubleclick the title bar or use window tiling.
This task depends upon

Works for me (db-clicking on the title bar or clicking on "maximize" menu entry after right click on the title bar). No error nor warning either.

Could you please provide some more details/output AND a way to reproduce it. Also please check this is not some deactivated behavior in Gnome Shell (does it fail only for easytag?)

local/gnome-shell 3.8.4-1 (gnome)
local/easytag 2.1.8-2

This is only in gnome shell and only with EasyTag. The Maximize Button is greyed out. With xfce4 this works as supposed. (see attached screen)

Gnome-shell is following the window constraints easytag has set:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified minimum size: 743 by 815

The constraints are set by GTK, to ensure all controls are accessible.

Since the height of a maximized window (your screen height of 768, minus gnome-shell panel size) is less than 815, gnome-shell forbids maximizing. If other window-managers disregard this, you may notice that the bottom of the window (the log) will be cut off.

The problem is exacerbated by the large paddings the Adwaita theme uses. Other themes (such as no theme, or Clearlooks) might have smaller constraints; then the window will fit into the maximized height.

Suggestion for EasyTag: Wrap the tag editor on the right in a scrollbox. All those stacked edit boxes are responsible for most of the minimum window height.

I disables the log bar at the buttom as well as the file informations so now I can maximize easytag using Gnome Shell. So I guess that was more of a "feature" than a bug. I aggree with the scrollbox, that'd be great.

It seems upstream devs are already aware of the issue (the scrollable tag-box is already mentioned!):

Then I'm closing this bug report. Thanks. (Thanks Jan too for your help)
