FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0_09"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
12.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If the size of a JFrame is within 10 x 10 pixels of the available screen bounds then setting the framestate to Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH actually MINIMIZES the JFrame.

REGRESSION.  Regression from Apple's Java 6uX

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached code snippet and observe that the JFrame is minimized when the frame state is set to Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JFrame stays at existing size
ACTUAL -
JFrame is minimized as much as the minimum layout size allows

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
