I've tested the trusty-proposed update in a VirtualBox virtual machine (version 7.2.4+14.04.20141217-0ubuntu1).
The update fixes the issue. Now when I press Super+W, type something until only 1 window is shown (filter) and select the window, the title bars of all of the maximized windows are correctly merged with the top bar. It also works when the windows are spread through multiple workspaces and I use Super+Shift+W to view all of the windows. And it works both with the global menu and with locally integrated menus. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Note that if one does not do Super+E, then the bars to merge together. However, once Super+E has been performed, this bug persists for the lifetime of the windowed application. If the application is restarted after doing Super+E, then the bug is gone. Thus, it seems like Super+E introduces this bug for the lifetime of the windowed application. Expected behavior: Maximized window's title bar is merged into menu bar. Observed: Does not occur after Super+W is performed. [ Test Case ] (1) Open one or more Terminals, place one in maximized mode (eg. by using control-super-up or clicking the embiggen button). (2) use super-W to enter the spread mode (3) select the maximized terminal window (4) lookee lookee, separate title bars without the fix! [ Regression Potential ] Any change to the Unity desktop shell could potentially introduce a new crash or hangup. [ Additional Info ] The Unity SRU fix for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was cherry-picked from upstream Unity where it has been a part of the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev release for some time now and has demonstrated no regressions.
