My compiz version is compiz:all/trusty-updates 1:0.9.11.1+14.04.20140701-0ubuntu1
but the problem still remains not only in chromium /firefox popup windows but to most common programs I use as well such as: * console * nautilus * evince Some programs e.g. Thunderbird that are full screen when I close them, remain full screen on re-open, otherwise they open on the top-left corner steps to reproduce for Thunderbird Scenario #1 Thunderbird - open Thunderbird - Maximize window - close - Re-open Thunderbird - Thunderbird opens maximized Scenario #2 Thunderbird - open Thunderbird - un- maximize window - window goes to top-left - move window to visible position & close Thunderbird - open Thunderbird again and window goes to top-left again Scenario #1 console - open console - opens on top-left by default - Maximize window - close - Re-open console - console *does not* open maximized Scenario #2 console - open console - opens on top-left by default - move window to visible position & close console - open console again and window goes to top-left again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303462 Title: [Regression] Window titlebars placed behind panel Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series: Fix Committed Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Some windows that open from within another window such as a Firefox popup window will be placed with the decorations under the Panel. Also, some windows will just open with the decoration under the Panel such as virt-manager. This can cause confusion for the user on how to move the window and how to close it. This can be very disruptive to a user's workflow. [Test case] 1. Install virt-manager. 2. Make sure no other windows are open. 3. Start virt-manager. virt-manager should start in the top left. With this fix, the decoration should be visible. [Regression potential] None identified. * Debdiff is found at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/178439518/compiz- trusty-sru-2.debdiff * Original 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.
