Bug Description
When I try to resize snapped windows using the grid plugin by clicking the resize button, the windows resize in a bizarre way. This bug occurs every time I resize a window that opens in a full screen mode, but doesn't affect windows that doesn't open in full screen.
Steps to reproduce:
To reproduce the bug open any window that by default opens in full screen. Then snap it to the right or left and then click the resize button.
What Happens:
The window becomes bigger so that the upper part containing the window controls becomes hidden, tucked under the upper panel, in this way I can't resize the window.
What should happen:
The window should restore to the full maximised state when the maximise window control is pressed.
Workaround:
The work around I found is to grab the window by holding the alt key to bring it back down so I can use the window controls to resize it.
I have attached a screenshot for this bug in action taking the software center as example, notice the hidden window controls, its actually hidden beneath the upper panel
