[Aaron Whiticar <1303462@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the best workaround I have come up with is:
- install compizconfig-settings-manager from the software center
- run compizconfig-settings-manager 
- go to place windows
- go to fix windows placement tab
- create new (windows with fixed positions)
- window postion: class= "the program that is loading in the wrong position"
- X=65
- Y=55
then close
 repeat as needed for all program causing problems and adjust X & Y based on you launcher and panel scaling.
some time you have to restart for the setting to take effect.

hope this helps 
cheers!
Whitaar

Title:
  [Regression] Window titlebars placed behind panel

Status in Compiz:
  Triaged
Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Windows with a height of (Display Height - Panel Height) get placed at y=0 (behind the top panel)
  which means window titlebars are not reachable without alt-moving the window.
  I assume this happens with windows that want to resize themselves if their height exceeds the display resolution.
  Reproducable on my 1366x768 screen with LibreOffice and a Qt 5 desktop application I'm working on.

  TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
  Use the Cntrl+SuperKey+Right or Left Arrow Key
  This will resize your currently focused window to occupy the Right (Left) half of the screen. The Title Bar should now be visible, so you need to drag it and resize it at your prefered position. This will save the new position in place of the previously hidden state.
