This is a nice point... The 'dodge windows' was confusing users, but was 
'always hide' tested and scientific comproved to be best (or, at least, 
less confusing) to users?

The best option should be kept, and not that one which was not tested. 
'Always hide' can be even more confusing to novice users than 'dodge 
windows'.
