When Notepad++ doesn't start truly maximized

For as long as I've used Notepad++, it had a certain strange behavior that bothered me a little. While it seemed to remember the location and size of its window, it evidently didn't take into account whether the window was maximized. Therefore, since I always use Notepad++ in full screen, I always got a screen-sized but not actually maximized window when I started a new instance. Since windows have a bit of extra chrome on the edges, the Notepad++ one spilled over onto my second monitor a little.

Yesterday I found out that that behavior was the result of a bug. Updating to the latest Notepad++ version solved the problem. (I had been using v6.3, the bug was fixed in v6.4.)
