I recently got a ThinkPad X260 with i7 processor, 16GB RAM, 1920×1080 resolution, and a 500GB Samsung SSD that I put in it. After spending some time distro hopping I have returned to the Canonical released variant of Ubuntu with Unity. Other distros all had one thing or another that would annoy me about it, but I am happy to report that Unity is largely free from those, with one minor issue that I hope can be rectified.
Chrome has a tendency to open off screen, just enough that the horizontal scrolling bar and the down arrow on the vertical are obscured. Furthermore, it opens leaving a gap between the top panel and the edge of the browser. Moving the browser up will reveal that the browser is sized to fit the screen vertically.
What I've noticed further is that the browser does not seem to hold it's position or size settings from close to close. It sometimes will, but the browser seems to gravitate towards the bottom of the screen with each instance of opening. A restart generally restores the half screen, off the bottom position.
I've tested by installing Chromium without syncing any settings or changing anything and found the same issue. Anyone know a solution?

Let me offer this fix I found, these steps are:
use the key combination ALT+TAB till you are positioned on Chrome before continuing with the next step.
Press Alt + Space: This opens the the "Window Menu".
Choose "move" either by clicking on the option if you can see the menu, or by hitting the "M" key.
Hit one of the "arrow" keys, the one with a direction opposite to where your browser window has gone (mine went to the right, so I hit the "left arrow" key) enough times until you can see the enough of the browser to be able to drag it.
Drag the browser to the desired position.
Close the browser (this is important in order to ensure that this new position of the browser is saved and will be the position of the browser the next time you open it. Skipping this step means that the last saved position is "off screen". Should the browser close improperly, it will re-open in the last saved position, that is "off screen" and this procedure will need to be repeated.)
Re-open you browser and proceed normally.
