Thanks. It looks like gnome-shell is generally doing the right thing. It notices an app is trying to place itself over the full screen and accepts that as a old-style fullscreen request. Nothing unusual there. Gnome Shell is behaving correctly for a window manager.
The only problem here is that there's no way to escape (restore and resize) such automatic fullscreening in gnome-shell. But also I think that's normal. I'm not aware of any window managers that do offer that. So I don't think it's reasonable to ask for a gnome-shell enhancement to work around this problem. It's Spotify's fault for firstly suggesting it wants to be fullscreen and then not remembering that it requested fullscreen. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820230 Title: spotify (snap) starts in fullscreen without windows decorations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1820230/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
