No one answered my previous comment about this - if you eliminate mode
change on maximize how do you prevent the user from accidentally
grabbing the right edge of the window when using the scrollbar?  The
only solution I can think of involves a different type of mode change
(allow resize by grabbing any edge, except the one with the scrollbar)

It seems like this might have been the reason for this design decision.
