Public bug reported: When a window is maximized, it 'connects' to the panel at the top of the screen to give the illusion that it is part of it. In Ubuntu 12.04, however, bringing a non-maximized window to the front of the maximized one causes the top bar to make a shadow over the maximized window - breaking the illusion that it is now 'part' of the panel. See the screenshot - you will see that the maximized Firefox now seems to be 'underneath' the panel instead of being connected to it, despite its close and minimize and maximize buttons being part of the panel.
It just seems like a bit of a visual design inconsistency. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998442 Title: Bring a window in front of a maximized one causes a shadow from the panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/998442/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
