Chromium-based browsers maximized window overflow

Hi,
On Xfce, when I maximize Chromium-based browser windows, they overflow the monitor screen. This started after an upgrade while ago. Brave, Ungoogled Chrome, Google Chrome.

As I asked Chris Cromer, on Telegram, he pointed the xinerama package. But, it was already installed (libxinerama) on my machine, and re-installing it does not help.

I have another machine installed Cinnamon, and it works fine. This only happens on Xfce.
It is a multi-monitor setup, and I use Nvidia GPU.

Thanks.

maybe chromium removed something or started to depend on som WM feature which is not provided by XFCE?

I just tested with the latest upgrades and ungoogled-chromium in a QEMU XFCE OpenRC guest, the window doesn't cover the entire screen, but there's a different issue.

If Ungoogled Chromium was maximized the last time it was active, and then launched in XFCE, it will start maximized and correctly sized (picture 1). If, however, it is restored and then re-maximized, it won't be sized and positioned correctly (image 2). It won't cover the entire screen be much larger than the screen however.

You're using the default theme? Try other themes to see if this problem persists.

Yes, I was using Arc theme, and changing to other themes like Adwaita, Adapta, or Materia didn't help.

In the default Artix XFCE setup, there are only those themes:
  • Adwaita
  • Adwaita-dark
  • Artix-dark (this one is the default)
  • High Contrast
"Arc", Adapta and Materia are not installed by default.

After upgrading Chromium (and all its derivatives) to their latest versions a couple of days ago, the issue is now fixed, without any changes in XFCE settings or themes. It was either an issue with XFCE, or its plugins/dependencies, or with Chromium-based browsers which is not resolved after some updates.
I'm now using:
Google Chrome (google-chrome-stable --version): Google Chrome 96.0.4664.93
Brave (brave --version): Brave Browser 96.1.32.113
