Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a window and maximize it (e.g. nautilus)
2. move the moese away from the top panel to make the window controls disappear
3. move the mouse to the left edge of the screen and move it slowly upwards until it enters the panel
4. the window controls fail to appear unless you move the mouse 1px to the right or more and only as long as the mouse does *not* touch the top edge of the screen.

If it touches the top edge, then the window controls will not appear unless you move the mouse over the invisible menu area.

This looks like some bug in the hit-testing for the window controls.

hese two bugs are probably two sides of the same coin: in this bug, the controls don't appear if you move to the left edge. In the other one, they don't disappear.
