Question Beginner Window Title Bar Missing

[jeremyg]

Hello,

In certain applications, the window title bar is missing - see below for an example with Android Studio:

The exact problem happens in applications such as discord and all the Libre office suite, while it doesn't happen in others like Chrome, Pop!_Shop, etc.

I have tried reinstalling Pop OS, but it has not worked. I do not have any tweaks installed and the problem persists with different themes.

I am running 20.04, GNOME 3.36.3, X11 windowing system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have "Show Window Titles" toggled off in the Pop-Shell extension?

Good catch. No, I did not have it toggled off. Which is strange because if that were the problem, I would expect there to be no window titles anywhere, not just in certain applications.

I ended up doing a fresh OS install last night and the problem has seemed to go away. I did some investigation and I believe it may have to do with the shell theming (...?). With this fresh install, I won't install any shell themes to see what happens.
