I believe that the bug report is about compiz. The problem being that the window manager should permit *any* window to be maximized via a key combination regardless of wether the window has maximize/restore buttons. This is, therefore, a system wide facet of compiz.
** Summary changed: - control center window is not manually resizeable + it should be possible to maximize any window ** Summary changed: - it should be possible to maximize any window + it should be possible to maximize any window using (using F8) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966524 Title: it should be possible to maximize any window using (using F8) Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu Precise Development Branch. 12.04 Further to Bug report #964685 - I am advised that the following behaviour is caused by Compiz. 1. Start live cd - click desktop to change background to suitable colour. Facility to maximise window using Alt F8 has is greyed out - needs to re restored to meet accessibility standards - and should be working in the beta. This accessibility feature is present in 10.04.4 through to 11.10 (verified today) - and should still be present in 12.04. It should not have been removed or deprecated under Gnome shell/3 or Unity - or for testing purposes. Issue visible in screen print - attached. Issue affects multiple windows from Boot of live CD and through Install process and in installed system. Numerous people with visual and neurodiveristy disabilities need the ability to maximise these windows to allow concentration on single task with minimal image/background noise. Window sizes may be presented inline with branding guidelines - but they should retain accessibility feature for those who need it and require it. It is acceptable for maximise option to be greyed out provided alternate Alt F8 is available. Presently basic accessibility standards compromised.
