Window snapping in macOS moves Close/Minimize/Fullscreen icons in title bar
macOS 10.14; Illustrator 22.1
Window snapping Illustrator (using tools like Moom, Spectacle, Magnet, etc.) forces the "traffic light" icons in the top left of the window to move from their default location.
Sometimes the icons fall halfway off the top of the title bar; sometimes they fall all the way off; sometimes they aren't affected at all. There doesn't seem to be any way to recreate the issue consistently.
Manually adjusting the size of the window by stretching it with a mouse will reset the icons to the correct position.
This seems to be related to https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/32614258-bug-app-window-missing-close-minimize-expand, except my issue only occurs during window snapping.

Same problem. Been putting up with it, but frustrated this hasn't been fixed.

Often times my application window is missing these buttons which is annoying when I'm trying to resize or minimize the window. I'm not really sure what triggers it or have steps to reproduce. It's possible that it happens when I am connected to a second monitor and move the window between. Or when I disconnect.
Usually, I will have to quit and restart the app to get it back.
