Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10 (from 18.04 LTS), I noticed that when I switch to a Firefox window from another application, the Firefox title bar doesn't show the full text, but a cropped and unaligned version (see below):

Here is the expected appearance of the title bar:

The issue corrects itself as soon as I switch tabs in Firefox, but I wonder where this minor inconvenience comes from?

I am using Gnome with Unite and Ubuntu Dock (along with some other extensions) and the issue is replicated in different user themes.

EDIT: I realized this is not specifically a Firefox issue. It happens with other software too, but I noticed it first with the browser.

EDIT 2: The issue only arises when the window is maximised and the title appears in the top bar. This is handled by the Unite extension.

  • Are you using pixel-saver extension or an extension that removes titlebar from maximized windows?

  • @Joaquin: Yes, that is also handled by the Unite extension

  • You should refer to them on this matter as they control the CSS changes to gnome-shell . My initial reaction is that they have a limit to the title lenght that somehow gets removed when you focus on the window.

As suggested by Joaquín Ayuso de Paúl, the problem was in the Unite extension and was resolved by using the newest version of the extension.
