window title bar disappears when maximized

[green69]

Hi everybody!

I have ubuntu 8.1 on an acer aspire one notebook and I installed it exactly how is reported on the ubuntu guide. Since last week everything was ok andeverything was working perfectly.

Then, I think after an actualization (but I'm not sure) I started experiencing a problem in the desktop environment. Now, everytime I maximize a window (every types of window), window title bar (including minimizing and close buttons) disappears under the top pannel.

Can anybody help me with this? Or have you an idea on why does it pass? This is quite annoying and I need to solve it.

Thank you in advance for you help!

... but it doesn't work. I even followed the link above but: same problem -> no solutions!

i'm having this exact issue. the windows look fine as long as I'm not maximizing them and i've tried unticking the legacy fullscreen as well as the link posted in the first reply.
any more suggestions?

I was able to figure my problem out with this thread:

Turns out maximus had been installed on my machine.

sudo apt-get remove maximus

and reboot, seems my problem is solved now
