file information not shown on rollover on tab if window is maximized

[Teo]

Steps to reproduce:
1. open several files in Gedit
2. maximize the window
3. move the cursor over each tab

Expected behavior: every time you roll over a tab, a black rectangle should appear with white text with information about the file (full path, mime type...)

Observed result: for the left-most tabs and while the cursor x position is lower than a certain point, the info box is not shown. Instead, a strange flickering can be observed on the top left corner of the screen (not even in the area where the info box is supposed to be shown); sometimes you may see the info box appear for a fraction of an instant. If you move the cursor to the right of a certain threshold and for subsequent tabs, it works as expected.

Just another pathetic regression in f***ing-unusable 15.10.

This is still an issue in 16.04. Why the fuck was this closed??
