I cannot maximize any windows in Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon.  I have tried to turn on the Maximize, instead of tile, when dragging window to top edge from the answer below, but it has no effect.  In fact, even if the entire 'enable window tiling and snapping' is turned on, or off, there is no difference in window behaviour.Mint 16 Cinnamon, maximize window fully
