Bug Description

When having e.g. a 7 rows high window (with two tabs) and maximizing + unmaximizing it, the result is a 6 rows high window. Repeat it and it goes to 5, 4, and finally 3 rows in height. It doesn't shrink past 3 rows.

It is especially noticeable with a long narrow window along the bottom of the screen, where the distance to the bottom screen edge increases every time the window height shrinks.
