[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1568852] Re: missing title bar for some applications
Good to hear that this does not happen on bionic. :) Unfortunately I have to say that this will not get fixed in 16.04, especially without steps with how to reproduce this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568852 Title: missing title bar for some applications Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Some applications are missing the titlebar in gnome-session-flashback with Metacity.

I've not seen it yet on bionic (which uses 3.28), but it's still not fixed on xenial's 3.18. Even though I encounter this quite frequently there, I couldn't find a way to reproduce it in a consistent manner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568852 Title: missing title bar for some applications Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Some applications are missing the titlebar in gnome-session-flashback with Metacity.

3.18 is very old release, does this happens with 3.28? Is there any way to reproduce this bug always?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1568852] Re: missing title bar for some applications
I am also having this problem. Additional notes: This happens even on the most primitive X11 applications. Even applications like the Rosetta Code X11 xlib application. This happens regardless of if you use XCreate window or XCreateSimpleWindow. Additionally, even if you change the window title, the window title in bar does not appear. This bug does not seem to happen with Xt, Gnome, KDE and similar applications. This bug is VERY annoying. Hopefully this helps move things along. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568852 Title: missing title bar for some applications Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Some applications are missing the titlebar in gnome-session-flashback with Metacity.
