It might be the fault of your WM, for example I have this in ~/.fluxbox/apps: [app] (name=emacs) (class=Emacs) [Deco] {NONE} [Maximized] {yes} [end] Can you also start Emacs with -q? Do you start emacs as root? Did you perform a system upgrade recently? I cannot reproduce this locally with GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) after removing the aforementioned lines from ~/.fluxbox/apps. -- Arkadiusz Drabczyk
