Minor Rant about hidden menu-bar

Since Windows 3.1 I've been able to double-click the control-icon in the
title-bar of a window to close the window/application. In Windows Live
Messenger is the option to hide the menu bar. While this makes Windows Live
Messenger look much better, double-clicking on what appears to be the
control-icon instead maximizes the window. This is clearly wrong behaviour!
I hope a future version will re-institute similar behaviour for similar
action.

Thanks

My vote here, too. They even "added" this behaviour to Office 2007 in Beta 2
:-)

Greetings,

I bugged this during the beta. The bug is still active but no movement.
