They both do seem like they could be consequences of the app
forgetting to take into account the positioning of itself inside the
frame. I've seen a similar behavior that only started fairly recently
(~past few months), in that form field autofill selection boxes now
mostly cover the form field, making it really annoying to try and use.
Probably a safe assumption that it comes from the same place.
Just for kicks, a trivial patch to not move the window down inside the
decorations (so it still start at the "normal" height, and covers up
the titlebar) causes it to come up "right". e.g., :

So, I'd say it's probably a FF or GTK bug. I look first more at GTK,
since (a) you mention similar symptoms in another app, and (2) if
somebody would have to go into FF code to fix it, we're screwed
forward. I don't see anything obvious in scanning a few likely
keywords in GTK's bugtracker. It may take writing a minimal GTK app
to demonstate it, to be able to characterize and get it fixed... :|
