Bug Description

Conditions to occur:
  the top bar is set to transparent through MyUnity
  toggle to solid on maximised is selected
  a multi-screen configuration
  maximize windows on two different monitors

System Info:
  Unity version 5.8
  Compiz version 0.9.7.4

Symptom
  the last maximised top bar becomes solid while the other screen top bar toggles back to transparent

It's really low priority, but I felt it was a counter-intuitive behaviour.

As of latest apt-get ugrade this appears to have been fixed. I did the latest dist-upgrade as well to make sure it stayed fixed. It appears to be resolved at least for me.

On 12.04 latest unity latest-not ppa, it's solved if the window is completely on a given monitor. If the window spans monitors, and you maximize the old behavior seems to still evidence for me.
