Ok, I did not manage to figure this one out yet, but I did find something interesting. The windows actually scale differently depending on whether the panel is extended or not. You can just install dconf- editor and go to /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock and toggle extend-height in order to change this setting.
I caused the clipping to show up by just launching gedit and maximizing it before going to the overview. You can see from the attached screenshot that the only difference in the activities view is the panel on the right-side is not extended, and yet the gedit window on the left looks much larger, as though it was zoomed in. That is what is causing the clipping and why Fedora is unaffected even with the same extension. The scaling in Fedora is identical to the right-hand side of the image where the panel is not extended. There is some difference in how the windows are being drawn. Another example: If I open two non-maximized gedit windows, in Fedora they will appear side by side. In Ubuntu? Top and bottom, with the bottom clipped. I tried looking at a diff of the Ubuntu Dock code vs stock dash-to-dock, but I wasn't able to find any difference relating to size/scaling of the windows, so I'm not sure exactly what is causing it. ** Attachment added: "extended-panel-vs-non-extended.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1834967/+attachment/5290087/+files/extended-panel-vs-non-extended.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834967 Title: Activities overview doesn't shrink some windows adequately and they are partially off screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Details in my screenshot: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BR6H56eug7JFMGU37 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.32.2-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-17.18-generic 5.0.8 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Jul 1 20:38:43 2019 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-07-01 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=ru_UA:ru PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=ru_UA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.32.2+git20190626-1ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1834967/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
