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.
