Don't you f#####g hate those applications which you can't maximize, but deceive you into thinking they're maximized so that you close the window behind it? D:<

I guess I'm not sure what you mean. Can you show us a picture?

I sort of know what you mean, and yes, I've accidentally killed many windows that way.

Looks like it's a full window right? WRONG! Try click the corner of the screen (like usual) to close the window and it closes whatever's behind it! Which may or may contain unsaved information!

Just BTW that particular screenshot comes from this quick .dds viewer I downloaded to take a quick peek at FS visual effects.

Yup, that annoys the hell out of me, it's when the app just takes the desktop size and sets itself to that rather than using the proper 'locked to the edges' technique, so when you click on the top right, you can accidentally select the window underneath :(

At least then you don't close the window you were typing up a 1000 word long reply to ShadowGorrath and/or Mobius in. D:

Heh?

Why don't you just click on the red X?

I never full-screen my windows. :D

It's easier to just drag the mouse to the extremity (corner) than actually place it above the X...

I have a bit of a jumpy mouse, I often find when scrolling up on large websites I sometimes jump to the X button and close every session. :P

I keep that warning on so that I can see the inordinately large numbers of tabs I had open...
