Re: [Bug 1303462] Re: [Regression] Window titlebars placed behind panel

 

I think it's the same bug
my windows too go behind the panel (top left)
Some applications (e.g.Thunderbird) do not do this when they are closed
maximized
while many others (e.g. console, evince, nautilus) do this every time I
open them
