  bizarre resize behavior for snapped windows (grid plugin)

Bug description:
  When I try to resize snapped windows using the grid plugin by clicking
  the resize button, the windows resize in a bizarre way. This bug
  occurs every time I resize a window that opens in a full screen mode,
  but doesn't affect windows that doesn't open in full screen.

  Steps to reproduce:
  To reproduce the bug open any window that by default opens in full screen. Then snap it to the right or left and then click the resize button.

  What Happens:
  The window becomes bigger so that the upper part containing the window controls becomes hidden, tucked under the upper panel, in this way I can't resize the window. 

  What should happen:
  The window should restore to the full maximised state when the maximise window control is pressed.

  Workaround:
  The work around I found is to  grab the window by holding the alt key to bring it back down so I can use the window  controls to resize it. 

  I have attached a screenshot for this bug in action taking the
  software center as example, notice the hidden window controls, its
  actually hidden beneath the upper panel
