Thanks for working on this Daniel.  Your supposition is likely an the
right track.  Before I started on this consulting assignment (the
beginning of this year) I was using two external monitors, one on my
desk at home, and one at school.  They were different.  I also was using
some projectors in classrooms that were different yet.  It really
behaves like some part of the system thinks the screen is smaller than
it is. Last year I was using 1920x1080, because I could put smaller text
on the external monitor.  Now I have just this laptop, and so I changed
the resolution to 1600x900.  I think that is about when I started
noticing this.  I moved the monitors.xml, and rebooted.  It hasn't
reappeared, and it sometimes took a little time before I noticed it, so
I'm not ready to say that fixed it.  I'll let you know if it didn't and
supply you with the xrandr output then too.

Again, thanks for looking at this.  It was kind of annoying, though I
could expand and contract the window, and that one would be good for a
while.

Title:
  Full screen window becomes "small" in the upper left of the screen...

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This happens with a number of different programs, so I suspect it is a
  window manager bug.  The best way to describe it is with a screen
  shot.  The only responsive part of the screen is the small window in
  the upper left.  You can hit the little maximize box and it goes back
  to full screen okay, but after a while it comes back to this.  It can
  be annoying, because sometimes you can't quickly see what happened to
  the title bar.  I'm using Ubuntu 19.10.  This has been happening for
  about a week.
