Confirmed, but I think this is also an intentional design decision. Please open the issue with the Gnome people here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues and then let us know the ID of the new bug. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787288 Title: gnome-shell window title bar wastes space when maximized Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Steps to reproduce Start Ubuntu Login to Unity Choose logoff Choose Ubuntu (which should have the label Gnome-hell) Note this is the only way to get Gnome-hell to start, starting it directly just shows a black screen and dumps you back to the greeter. (already created a bug report for that) Open a program Choose the Maximize icon alllll the way over on the right (thanks Gnome-shell devs for causing more Mouse Arm for people with Hi-res screens, instead of just moving the mouse up to the top to click my button, I now have to move it all the way across the screen to the right) The window maximizes but not to full screen. I get a weird double bar, with the clock bar and the window title bar wasting valuable pixels. On my professional systems at work, this means I can display one less product on the screen, products being more important than the titel of the window. Please hide the window title when maximized. (or make it at least optional) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-32.35-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-32-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Aug 15 23:53:59 2018 DisplayManager: lightdm GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'favorite-apps' redacted by apport b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'gtk-im-module' b"'gtk-im-context-simple'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-11-15 (1004 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20150805) SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-08-15 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1787288/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
