Bug Description

BEHAVIOR
When I have multiple apps open (over 4, usually) and I press the Super/Windows key to open the Overview, some of the windows are positioned below the bottom edge of my monitor.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
When I open the Activities Overview with multiple apps open, they would all show in the middle of my screen, not bleeding past any edge in the monitor, as is the default Gnome behavior.

I have screenshot examples available, but I don't know how to upload them to this post.
