Description Vish 2010-01-24 09:02:54 UTC 
Bug first reported in launchpad > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/511670

When in fullscreen mode, the top line of the editor has a shadow on top of it
making it difficult to read.

Steps to reproduce.
1. Open Gedit
2. Press F11 to go to fullscreen mode.

Actual result:
There is a shadow on the top line of text even when toolbar is hidden.

Expected result:
No need to display shadow when the toolbar is hidden. [similar to EOG behavior]
All text should be unobscured.

Well the shadow is because you are using a compositing manager with the shadow activated, also if we don't leave that pixel shown you wouldn't be able to make the toolbar appear when you move the mouse till the top of the window. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX as right now we don't have any api to say the compositor manage to not draw a shadow in a window.
Thanks for the bug report.

EOG , is able to not show the shadow for the gtk toolbar. How is it doing this?

The behavior in EOG is  , 
- No shadow when toolbar is hidden
- Shadow shown when toolbar appears

Is EOG not using gtk toolbar ? I would imagine there is someway that this is possible...

Kindly re-open the bug.

FWIW , I'm seeing the shadow even with metacity.
Comment 5 Ignacio Casal Quinteiro (nacho) 2010-01-24 13:03:13 UTC 
well, metacity will show a shadow if it has the composition manager activated. Also say that HIG says that we should show at least 2 pixels and we are showing 1 to not hide the first line. Also say that eog manages the toolbar in a different way.
