Another interesting bug in Windows Vista:
1. Maximize any window e.g. My Computer window.
2. Right-click on Minimize or Restore buttons and voilla you'll get the context menu which appears when we right-click on titlebar.
3. It doesnt appear when we right-click on Close button.
So its definitely a bug. Why should it appear on buttons?

C'mon VG
It's same here in Win XP (SP2)...
Why should this be considered a "bug" ?

Just like you pointed, it only displays a context menu on minimize/restore buttons.
This doesn't happen for the close button ( X ).
Same behaviour exactly in XP (SP2)

This is no bug. It's exactly how the system is meant to work. If you don't understand a design feature, one may say that the designer failed to communicate it, but the fact of not understanding does not make the feature a bug.

Sorry about that last post, I should've been more specific.
Quote: "This is NOT a bug. The reason you don't get the context menu when you right click the close button is because that's the designed functionality of the close button."
It's not a bug. See, the close button is designed as a layered object, thus disabling all layered objects below it. If you right click anywhere on the title bar of a program, you should get the system context menu. If you left click the program icon in the title bar of a program the system context menu appears, unless defined otherwise. If you right click any element of the title bar, with the exception of the close button, the system context menu appears.
See the concept?

^^ I think some kind of app is running in background which disables the Close button.
