Initially I thought this was an issue with IntelliJ and filed a bug there:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-323780/Maximizing-the-the-window-sometimes-causes-clicks-on-a-lower-fraction-to-pass-through-to-the-window-behind

But when I had the same issue with GIMP, I realized it's an Ubuntu or GNOME issue instead. I am assuming this is a gnome-shell problem.

Every once in a while, when I maximize or tile (Win+Right) the IntelliJ window, a bottom fraction of the window (somewhere around a quarter) becomes impossible to interact with, with the mouse. Clicking in that lower area will give focus to the thing behind IntelliJ, and if it's a window, raise it to the foreground. if I restore the window so that it is not maximized, the entire window is interactive with the mouse once again.

This also happened with GIMP.

The attached "Screencast" is a recording. I had to crop it to hide personal information. The attached screenshot shows the state of my screen so you have context, with a bright green color used to replace personal information.

For the first 10s of the recording, I simply moused over to show how the cursor changes around a quarter from the bottom of the screen.

For the next 10s, I left click, then move, then left click, then move, until focus changes to Sublime, the window behind IntelliJ.

For the remainder of the video I show that right-clicking and mousing over works fine on the top three quarters, until I reach the bottom again, and then the right click is sent to Sublime.
