WinMerge
maximised tabs' clickable part dont extend to screen edge
similar to #2520 but for tabs' clickable part. clicking the edge dont switch to that tab. trying to move tabs remove window from maximised size and drags it instead.
You’re probably referring to clicking on the very top edge of the title bar — is that correct?
Since double-clicking the top edge of the title bar exits maximized mode, this behavior has some merit. However, browsers like Edge and Firefox do switch tabs when clicking the top edge of the title bar, so perhaps WinMerge should follow that behavior too...

exactly.

I made a PR which maybe considered as a temporary solution for this issue.

Since you said so, I didn't intercept this behavior. With this PR, the new behavior will be both selecting the tab and exitting maximized mode.

I've noticed that browsers render the tab button at maximum height when in maximized mode. If we aim to follow their behavior, I think we should apply the same tab button rendering mechanism in WinMerge. I actually also tried rendering the tab button at maximum height, but it didn’t look great. To improve the appearance, we should render the bottom border of the tab button the same way browsers do.
Anyway, my PR isn't complete yet. Please test it and provide some suggestions to help me finish it.
