The bug doesn't occur when having Desktop Effects set to None.

As a workaround when you have enabled Desktop Effects you can use a
small program called wmctrl.

Install through terminal:

sudo apt-get install wmctrl

or you can install it from Synaptic.

Once you have installed it go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard
Shortcuts, and click Add. A small window should pop asking for "Name" of
the custom key combination, and "Command". In the first field type
something like "Toggle fullscreen through wmctrl" and in the second
field type:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen

After that just look in the list for your custom entry and bind a key.
:)

The above command calls the wmctrl program which asks the currently
running window manager to toggle the active window fullscreen state.
