Title:
  Full screen zoom fails in Chromium

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is a Unity issue or an editor issue, but the same
  problem on 2 different editors would suggest the former. Open either
  of these editors. Double-click on the title bar to zoom. (Once you do
  this, you may never again be able to shrink the window again, beyond a
  small fractional amount, because you will never again be able to reach
  the bottom border with the "up-and-down resize arrow"; you would need
  to reinstall the OS!)

  Zoom works fine. Now close the editor.

  Launch it again. This time, it tries to come up zoomed, which makes
  sense because that was its most recent state. But the last line of
  text at the bottom of the screen shows through. (In other words, it
  would be a full-screen zoom, but the last line is still the desktop
  background.) So you need to double-click on the title bar twice, once
  to shrink and another time to zoom again. The second time, it actually
  zooms correctly. When you open another file or repeat the experiment,
  you need to quadruple-click all over again.

  In addition to being very awkward, this is actually quite confusing,
  because if you have zoomed and unzoomed editor windows open, the last
  line of text from document A shows up at the bottom of document B.

  This problem did not happen on i386 12.04 several months ago. Sorry, I
  no longer have the specific details. Anyway, it happens now on AMD64
  12.04. Reinstalling the OS fixed it for a few sessions. Then it
  happened again. Perhaps zooming triggers it.

  I have some sense that this bug relates to the fact that Unity has its
  own title bar at the top, so somehow the editor is getting the wrong
  idea about how big "full-screen" really is.

  The reinstall-the-OS-to-resize issue is perhaps another bug, but I'm
  not going to open another report at the moment because I suspect that
  it's due to the same root cause.
