Hold option (alt) and click the green button in the bar at the top of the window. (As you hover the button, a pop-up will appear, calling the option "Zoom," which means to "maximize.")

It really means "tell the app to size its window to fit the content" so the effect is not always to fill the screen. It's so inconsistently implemented that they might as well just make it work like maximize on Windows.
