This bug appears for Chrome, Chromium, Adobe brackets(node-webkit based app), Opera browser.
When disable hw acceleration in Opera, this bug disappears for Opera.

I also found that when an app is offsetted, toggling "Snapping Windows"
in Compiz will make the app display correctly. Completely
enabling/disabling wont work forever, you need to toggle it when an app
is in offsetted state.

Ubuntu 14.10 fresh install
Tried with AMD drivers from AMD site and fglrx-updates from ubuntu repo. Not fixed.

Title:
  Unity desktop misbehaves with applications that use direct rendering
  with the FGLRX driver

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been using Ubuntu 14.10 for a while now, and I ended up switching
  to the FGLRX driver for performance reasons. My laptop is an Acer
  Aspire 5742G-7353 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 video chip on
  it. I have noticed that some applications (So far, I've only seen
  Blender and Chromium do this) displays a little bit (maybe 10-20
  pixels?) to the right when maximized. The drivers that are available
  from the ATI website worked fine, but I had to use the version from
  the repos since it no longer works with 14.10. Problem only exists in
  the repo version.

  Edit: I have switched to KDE and seen it happen in Blender with kwin
  compositing on. The bug disappeared immediately after disabling
  compositing.
