Another possible culprit: I wonder if this may be related to Apple's 
wacky "tabbed windows" UI?

Folks used to report seeing what appeared to be a second title bar below 
the real title bar, which turned out to be a tab set with just one tab.

Not sure how a tabbed interface with a single tab that looks identical 
to the drag region was seen as a good idea by anyone in that macOS 
design meeting, but it was what it was, and, like so much in Cupertino, 
"hey, app devs love rewriting their apps every time we add something 
new", so LC needed to accommodate that.

So now I'm wondering if this may be a mismatch of API calls and or 
incomplete feature implementation to deal with Apple's "tabbed windows".

On the one hand, that may explain why you're only seeing it very recent 
versions.

On the other hand, it doesn't explain why no one else is reporting it.
