Bug Description

When a window with long title is maximized, it tries to show the whole title in more than one line, which results to impropper displaying of it.
It occures for me with evience, with pdf files which have long titles. The title bar shows the middle of two lines of the title!
A screenshot of what happens is attached.

That's weird. Does it happen on every long PDF file? Also which version of Ubuntu are you running, and which version of Unity?

It is really weird! I could not repeat this bug for other files!!!

Hamed,

Could you please try opening the file in Unity 2D and Gnome Shell (using the same program - evince)? Does it still happen?

I tested it with different desktops. The results are:
Gnome Shell: it happens even when the window is not maximized. It also happens for maximized window.
Unity 2D: same as Gnome Shell.
And the interesting part is:
Gnome Classic: The problem does not happen! There is no problem in normal window, nor for maximized window.

The screenshots are attached in a single zip file.
