Hi,

I wonder if this is a bug, or intentional behaviour, but when calling
Shell.getMaximized() on a Mac, I am always getting a "TRUE", regardless
of the state of the Shell (Maximized or not).

Is it because on Mac there is no real "Maximize Shell" button like on
Windows or Linux?

I did not find a comment about that in the JavaDoc.

Regards,
ben

Hm, well I played around with shell.setMaximized and shell.getMaximized
on my Mac. It turns out, that once shell.setMaximized is called with
either TRUE or FALSE, that value remains, regardless how the Shell is
changed. I think that's ok, since on Mac, windows dont have something
like a "Maximize" button.

On the other hand, calling setMaximized(true) on a Shell maximizes the
Shell (I guess the size of the Shell is just set to the maximum value).

I feel ok with ignoring the maximized flag on a Shell on Mac. Maybe
Andre could comment on this issue.
