This is a very surprising unknown bug. I'm afraid that the features you are referring to (the minimize, maximize and close buttons) are much more low-level than Spyder's code. These are implemented in Qt itself, the graphical user interface library used by Spyder.

I suspect an issue with your Python/PyQt/Qt installation.

Please try to at least upgrade Spyder to v2.1.11 (although, as I wrote above, this has nothing to do with Spyder itself I think) or better to reinstall PyQt or Python.

I was able to fix it. I was in a full screen mode. By hitting F11 or in the menu view->Fullscreen Mode you can go into or out of it.
