I’m using gnome 3.38.4 on Fedora 33 (with Wayland). I have dash-to-panel extension activated, but the behavior is the same without it. I usually have Chrome window maximized. And whenever I click on the top bar, in an empty area, the Chrome window is brought to front. This does not occur when there’s no window maximized. As fas as I remember, this didn’t occur on Fedora 31.
Mouse click is one thing, but it seems that the top bar area is somehow associated with the maximized window, as I noticed other odd behaviors:
click in top bar empty area and start moving mouse => the maximized window starts moving with the mouse
move the mouse up from desktop area to top bar empty area, passing over a tab in the maximized Chrome window => tab popup/tooltip appears in Chrome, even though the mouse is not over it
Yes. Maximized (or tiled) windows can be restored (i.e. unmaximized/untiled) by dragging them, and that behavior was extended to the top bar a long time ago (in 3.4.0).

Is it possible to disable it? While I understand the drag-to-unmaximize concept, bringing the maximized window to front by simply clicking the top bar empty area is a rather odd behavior IMO. And Chrome showing tab tooltips randomly while the mouse is not even on top its window is getting rather annoying.
