GIMP Toolbox window handlers not visible after closing and reopening toolbox using Unity

[Evertjan Garretsen]

After closing the toolbox window (by clicking the close button) and reopening it from the menu "window" -> "new toolbox", the toolbox reappears, but I cannot see the window handlers (close button, drag handle). I've attached a screen shot to show what goes wrong.

The toolbox opens as a very high 1 column toolbox, therefore it takes up all the vertical space and the window handler is hidden at the top end of the screen.

I have seen several problems such like these. If you want to move this toolbox, you have to active the workspace switcher as workspace switcher. Then you can move and resize the toolbar and also all the other bars.

It's a usability issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a core package.

I cannot reproduce this in Ubuntu 14.04.

If you are still experiencing this issue in any currently supported release (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) please:

1. Add its name to the tag list under the bug description.
2. In <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733666>, mention which GIMP version are you using.

Thank you.
