The Resize option on the Control menu is greyed out. I can Maximise to go full screen but Unmaximise only gets me back to the same state.

If you drag a window to the side of the screen, it will be positioned
in that way.

Windows can be maximised by dragging them to the top of the window, similarly.

Dragging the window into a new position will make it resume its previous size.

(This is also a feature of Windows 7+, I believe)

I don't know why this is mis-firing for you though; I it works
reliably for me and I like it :)
