[Bug 230382] [NEW] Window covers the full screen in normal mode.

[Jose Maria]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I open firefox I expect the window to be shown maximized but with the title bar visible right under the top panel, but the window fully covers the screen instead. It extends over the upper and the lower panels (I am using gnome desktop).
I cannot access the desktop. The title bar is out of the screen, so I cannot minimize, restore, resize the window by pulling the borders or even close it. The menu bar is visible. The only method to exit firefox is through the menu option File>Exit .
When I press F11, firefox goes to real full screen mode. The buttons bar scrolls up disappearing from the top of the screen. Then when I press F11 again, firefox goes to normal mode and the title bar is now shown again. Although this does not happen always. Some tomes I have to cycle press F11 four or six times.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with compiz-fusion, Compiz window manager and GTK window decorator. I have wobbling windows active.

This failure is spureous
