If I switch to workspace with Chromium in fullscreen mode I see xfce-panel overlapping Chromium. To hide panel I need too turn fullscreen mode off and then turn it on again.

P.S.
I think this bug is reproducable for all non-decorated windows because if I set Chromium to use system frames and title bar all works great.

Works for me in 4.10

Happens with 4.10 as well (on Arch Linux), but only if the Chromium window is maximized before going to fullscreen.

Also reproducible on Xubuntu 12.04, if that helps further investigating the issue.

To add to this: Fullscreen doesn't interact properly with multiple monitors either, whenever I move the mouse from one monitor to the other, the window that was in fullscreen mode will fall into the background and be covered by all other windows and the panels, meaning it's impossible to properly watch a video on a second monitor. Prior to Ubuntu 12.10 everything worked perfectly.

Testcase

Issue is still present in 4.10. Attached testcase (from Arch bug report) still reproduces the issue for me (xfwm 4.10, Qt 4.8).

Run xfwm_qt.py, ensure window is maximized (M), switch to fullscreen (F), toggle menu bar visibily (H) -> xfce-panel is drawn on top of the supposed-to-be-fullscreen window.

Fix

I hope this patch fixes an issue. (Makes Fullscreen flag override Maximized)

This bug is still present in 4.10.1 although the patch has been available for weeks. It doesn't seem to affect newer versions of Chromium, but Qt apps (e.g. VLC) are still affected.
I have been using the patch for some weeks without any issues. (Thank you, Viktor Semykin.) It would be great if it was included in future versions.

MythTV is affected by this as well. It seems there is a bug report upstream along with a patch that should fix the problem. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=4960
