[Solved] Window Decorations are hidden under top bar after Gnome 1:3.2

After the latest gnome update (1:3.22.1-1) the window decorations such as the close button and other functions in other programs are hidden under the top bar when the window is maximised.
Does anyone have any idea where the problem may be ?

some things of relevance may be I'm running :
gnome-shell 3.22.1+2+g5a08886-1
nvidia 370.28-1
Kernel 4.7.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 30 19:28:42 CEST 2016 x86_64

Below is a screen dump of the issue. note the controls at the top of the window of evince.

When updating gnome to newer versions, be sure to grab any new gnome components:-

# pacman -Syu gnome gnome-extra

Give it a try, it may fix the problem for you.

Backup the .config folder and create a new, fresh one.

mv .config .config_old

log out, then login.

I recreated the ~/.config and moved some of the unrelated config files from old to new and it solved the problem.
Bit of a sledgehammer to crack a walnut approach but it worked.
I don't know exactly where the offending file is but it will do. i obviously just need to reconfigure some programs now.
Thanks
