Another problem with windowfx maximize.
Wednesday, December 28, 2005 by Corey Malone 1 | Discussion: WindowFX
If you click on the task bar to mimizie a window and then click again to maximize it, it moves up quite a bit, do it 2 or or three times and the window's bar is out of sight 
, this only happens if the task bar is on the top if it's on the side the windows moves to the side.

Are you setting the position as well as the maximum size? Does the window size fit the display resolution, allowing for the taskbar & any position coordinates you specified in Fx.
If the maximum window size is greater than the display, or the specified coordinates push the window beyond the limits of the display, Fx won't behave the way you want.
My screen resolution is 1024 x 768. The maximized window has to fit these dimensions, allowing for the taskbar.
I have tried Fx with the Taskbar on the bottom & with Taskbar vertical on the left side. Personally, I prefer the maximized window to touch the right edge of the display, with some open space on the left side.
-------------------------
Bottom Taskbar:
To align maximized window as described above, I set the max size at 950 x 700 pixels.
Set the X-coordinate position at 70 & the Y-coordinate at 0.
Therefore,
950 width + 70 X-coord offset = 1020 width (< 1024 pixel display width)
700 height + 30 taskbar width (approx) = 730 height (<768 pixel display height)
-------------------------
Left-hand vertical taskbar:
To align maximized window as described above, I set the max size at 950 x 700.
With taskbar on left, must allow for its width in setting X-coordinate. Assume Taskbar approximately 30 pixels. To have left alignment of window at 70 pixels, must set X-coordinate position at 40.
The Y-coordinate again set at 0.
Therefore,
950 width + 30 X-coord offset + 30 taskbar width (approx) = 1010 width (< 1024 pixel display width)
700 height (<768 display pixel height) I left room for docks beneath window
