It was just that it happens on both Windows and the Mate desktop (under
Debian) so I started to think it might be GTK; but perhaps it's  just
that the designers are copying each other...

No, nothing like that, just that you can't just happily drag the window
where you want it without it suddenly maximising on you - you do get a
little warning admittedly, but it is quite annoying. People probably
know how to tell the various window managers to give over, but without
the thing having a name it is difficult to tell...
