I'm not familiar with how WindowMaker behaves, but what you describe is
how all apps work in GNOME.  Evince isn't doing anything special in that
regard.  Windows maximize when you drag to the top edge of the screen,
or snap to the left or right half of the screen when you drag to the
left or right edge.  You could try changing the
org.gnome.shell.overrides.edge-tiling setting to false with:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false
