Re: Focus-follows-Mouse and maximizing problems in Fluxbox 1.0rc3

Any idea why aterm resizes to the top of the tool panel in my older 
version (.9.11)
and not in the the latest version?  It happens with any font face, size, 
and fluxfox theme
I've tried so far.
 
You're explanation of why it doesn't fill up the screen makes sense, and 
I've heard it
before.  It's a something that has come up before, and I've seen a few 
vm docs talk about it.

But, why my old version of flux didn't have the problem is what I don't 
understand.
Perhaps it was a "bug" that I considered a "feature".

thanks again for you replies!!
