You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Using Gnome 3 or Ubuntu session (default in 18.04) when you try to run
some game in fullscreen mode instead it opens at top left small window.
This happens for example for Way to Go! Steam game and perhaps any SDL 1
game. It's easy to reproduce, install a game using SDL 1 library for
example abe (apt install abe) and try to run it. There are two kinds of
effect, the abe and perhaps other games from Ubuntu repository fails to
run properly fullscreen only on first use after login. On second and
further run they launch properly on fullscreen. The Steam game (Way to
Go !) fails to run fullscreen each time. Sometimes you see only part of
the game screen at top left window and you even can't operate it,
sometimes whole screen is shown. When you manage to reach game settings
switching fullscreen on and off few times makes the fullscreen run
properly. The problem doesn't exist for example using Unity or
Windowmaker sessions. It exists using any Gnome 3 Xorg sessions, even
the classic one.
