could be familiarity error with linux windows and window icons.

window size icon had 2 states/selections;

  maximize - restore | single square - double square

by hovering mouse pointer icon to sizing button icon, you will/may note
a pop-up title of either 'maximize' or 'restore', which tells you what
state, clicking of button icon, window will change to.

if you see a single square, hover should show 'maximize' and clicking
will maximize window.

if you see a double square, hover should show 'restore' and clicking
will restore window to previous reduced size window.

if you click and there is no window size change, then 'restore' size
is at max.

click sizing icon until you see a single square. then move mouse
pointer to a window border or corner and note pointer icon changes
to a 'double head arrow'.

at this state, press and hold left mouse button and drag border/corner
inward to a new window size.
