...In the upper-left corner of (most) any window, right-click and select
"Move". Move your mouse upward and watch the titlebar disappear.

To me, this bug is clearly that of confusion as the end-result to the
user. At the very least, if you can't resize the window when the
titlebar is offscreen, don't turn the mouse cursor into an arrow that
implies that you can, and instead display a menu when the user wants to
re-size to possibly get the titlebar back onscreen. That will confuse
anyone.
