Read the bug & comments.  On mine, the title bar isn't missing - it's 
hidden (menu bar isn't checked to be displayed, by default) .
Hard to tell from the bug report attached screen, if their title and / 
or menu bar is missing or just hidden.  On mine, UI display - sometimes 
- stops in middle of tabs, showing it's not hidden or cut off JUST at 
their border.

As I said, if / when it's hidden AND if TBB bottom border is visible / 
draggable, moving bottom border up an inch or so, causes UI to change 
size and / or re-position, so title bar & sizing buttons are at least 
partially visible.
So, doesn't seem truly "missing."  Neither does part of the bottom of UI 
(border) seem "missing" - on start up, when bottom border *sometimes* 
appears cut off.

When bottom border is NOT visible, if I hide task bar, the bottom UI 
border "seems" aligned w/ monitor's bottom.  "Seems aligned" - because 
don't know if it was ALREADY aligned (w/ monitor bottom, but hidden by 
task bar), or if hiding task bar causes TBB UI to *then change size / 
position,* just as  when title bar is hidden & dragging the bottom 
border UP, causes the UI to *re-position* - revealing *part* of title 
bar & buttons.

Just tested again w/ *menu bar displayed.*  Still started w/ title bar & 
sizing buttons *ALMOST* hidden ("title bar" - just above menu bar).  In 
that scenario, "almost" hidden because can see only the *bottom, black 
border* of the sizing buttons.  BARELY enough to click & re-size UI 
(sometimes).  Again, if drag the bottom border UP ~ an inch, more of the 
sizing buttons (but not all) become visible.

With menu bar turned off, AND if / when it starts w/ title bar hidden, 
*(often) none* of sizing buttons is initially visible. Until I drag 
bottom border up, then the top of UI shifts down about 1/4 inch.
Other times, just enough of buttons are visible to click.  Erratic. I've 
identified at least 3 - 4 sequences / steps, when title bar (and / or 
menu) MAY be partially or totally hidden.  But not 100% for any 
scenario, AFAIK.

Title bar & size buttons being hidden on startup is ERRATIC, but happens 
*probably 50% of startups.*  Most often happens if I maximize UI, then 
reduce again, close TBB & restart (reduce UI, not minimize to task bar).
But, not 100% reproducible.  Sometimes, UI opens (in partial screen) w/ 
title bar & buttons fully displayed.  Next restart (immediately, w/o 
accessing any pages), title bar & buttons may be hidden again - *w/ OR 
W/O touching anything except close button.*

Since this doesn't happen w/ any other TBB versions before 3.5, AND 
doesn't happen w/ any apps, seems the problem began w/ some v3.5 change.
