Unclear. I haven't tried with other decorations. I supposed I should test
it out. Let me check.

Tried a number of them. Happens with vanilla oxygen.

air-oxygen and the max-look glass that allow icon-sizing does not show
this problem.

Under vanilla oxygen, all sizes show this problem. (full-screen/restore)

And with breeze?

I just checked. Breeze is ok. Plain oxygen seems to have the problem
because it has the special treatment of the buttons with the embossed
circles.

Literally as I change back and forth, I can see the plain oxygen
decorations clipped (I already did the F11/restore). It's almost like the
calculation done at the beginning is off after the F11.

Also, the application icon under oxygen is clipped on the left because
the title bar is moved to the left as you can see here.

This is after F11/restore once more.

All variations of oxygen (air-oxygen air-oxygen-color) have this problem
with the titlebar.

But those variations of oxygen do not clip the buttons on the right after
F11/restore.

You can see the titlebar shift to the left (harder to tell because it's
translucent)  but the buttons on the right are not cipped.

So I agree with you. Oxygen and variants.

I have a similar bug reported for the tooltips blocking the mouse clicks
under oxygen decorators. Probably needs to be assigned properly.
