Title:
  Place Windows Maximised causes faulty rendering in some applications

Status in “git” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Faulty rendering when selecting "Maximize" set for the "Place Windows"
  plug in. There are a number of applications affected, some have been
  reported individually in launchpad (search maximise) so this appears
  to be a systemic problem hence the attribution to compiz but feel free
  to refine this.

  The problem is that the bottom centimetre or so of the window doesn't
  render, losing status information and scroll bars. This usually
  occurs, but occasionally it works ok so you may need to try a second
  time to reproduce it. Best think is to have something maximised
  already so that you can see it where the new window should have been
  painted.

  One example is Archive Manager, just fire it up to see. Another
  example is viewing history in Git GUI.

  I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on two separate computers with
  different hardware, fully updated, both exhibit this problem.

  I have also noticed that many applications simply ignore or override
  the Maximise setting - but I suspect this is don't to the applications
  themselves but thought I'd mention it here in case it's helpful.
