Description Pawel Stolowski 2012-04-27 09:43:38 UTC 
Windows that have some size constraints (i.e. can't be made smaller than their original size) and don't have enough space on the screen on startup, loose decorations when started on small screen. 

Preconditions:
- screen resolution 800x600.
- a panel taking some space on the left (in my case - unity-2d launcher, always shown).

I observed this problem for two applications: gnome-control-center and dejadup in Ubuntu 12.04. It seems that metacity considers them maximized if they don't have enough horizontal space on start.

There is a gconf metacity flag - show_maximized_titlebars - if set, then the problem is gone, however the window can't be made fullscreen, as metacity seems to consider it maximized already.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
