Toggling full screen mode does not work well after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 from 15.10

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

I use tons of terminal windows (gnome-terminal) all the time for various tasks. Thus, it's important for me to be able to go into full screen mode (F11) - if I need more attention or space and switch back later.

I haven't got any problem with this in previous Ubuntu versions, after "switching back" from fullscreen mode, I got the terminal window at its original place and size. However, after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 recently, if I press F11 to switch back, the terminal window is enlarged to cover almost the full desktop, it's not "full screen" anymore (that's OK), ie I can see panel, borders, etc, but still it's not the original size and position of the window. So I have to manually resize the window all the time.

I've attached some screen shots, if it's more understandable than my not-so-perfect English, sorry about that.

Moreover, I had the suspect that it can be a generic window manager issue more, rather than gnome-terminal specific problem, but starting the KDE console (konsole) its fullscreen toggle functionality seems to be OK, just I have problem with the gnome-terminal, it seems.

Same here with 16.04 :(

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am unable to reproduce the bug under Unity, either in my session or in a newly created one.

So if you are still experiencing this bug, please set its status back to "confirmed". Thank you.

Bug still exists (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with all the updates). Made a video of it https://youtu.be/Rd9OfqtS7Nw

I see. Yes, that is a bug!

[Aleš Svoboda (svoboa)]

Bug seems to have been fixed by unity/compiz update

Any ETA on a fix? This is preventing me from upgrading to 16.04.
I'm happy to try any patches that need testing.
