Gala not responding when windows are near top of screen

[Evan Langlois]

The minimize, maximize and close buttons don't work in gala (0.1.0, Freya Beta 1) when the window is near the top of the screen. This means a maximized window has to be dragged off the top of the screen until its about 1/2 inch from the top before you can close or minimize it.

I have a minimize "hot-spot" that works. I'm pretty sure this worked when I first installed it and may have broken during an update.

Must be intermittent because its working again. No idea what has changed.

This bug is really killing me. Am I the only one experiencing it?

This may be a duplicate of bug #1361393.

Also, I have a clue as to what is going on. I think the area that is unclickable is exactly the area that a notification takes up. If there is no notification yet, no bug. 1 notify and I get a smaller area that won't work. Two notifications on screen and a larger area is unclickable. It's as if the system thinks that the notification is still on the screen and isn't passing the clicks to my window's toolbar. I can't prove this is what is going on, but this is consistent with what I'm seeing and with what the user reports in #1361393.

Other users are reporting problems with full-screen windows and such, so this may be a more widespread bug and people just don't know how to report it. I know I had a hard time finding this to add a comment - I had to to check my email.
