Hi,

I am aware of the way the maximize button works and that you have to drag a window to fully maximize it. However, on my MacBook Air 11, most of the times (strangely not always), I am left with a small, 1-2mm opening at the bottom of the screen where I can still see the desktop background. I just can't drag the window those 2 mm lower. Very weird, cause sometimes it does work. Also, my mouspointer can't seem to reach those last 2mm either. However, when the taskbar comes up, that one DOES use those 2mm. I have no clue, anyone?
 
Isn't that the place where your dock appears if you put you mouse there? I'm assuming you hide your dock
 
Most apps won't let you cover the Dock (what you are calling the taskbar). Even if you have the Dock hidden it reserves a couple of pixels so as you can unhide it. It might be annoying, but that's the way it is.
