True. It's "Zoom" and it's purpose it to resize the window so that all content fits inside it, not so that the window fills the screen. Some apps behave like Windows does however. I found it annoying at first but you just get out of that PC mindset after a few weeks.

Thats actually quite comforting to know. As long as it resizes to fit the content I can live with that. No right clicking will take a lot more getting used to though ;)

Right clicking is still possible and built-in. If your mouse only has one button, holding down control while clicking performs the same action as right clicking.
