14.04titlebarunity
In Ubuntu 14.04, The title bar of my application goes under the main title bar of Unity.
In the image below, the selected window is of Download Manager, but its title bar is hidden under unity's top title bar.
I find this issue occurring with web apps and standalone apps.
Ideally it should look like this:
ctrl + alt 5 seems to be your best bet as of right now. Sorry. Perhaps to remove temptation you could remove the maximize button in Ubuntu-Tweak but as of right now if you maximize the window, it simply will merge the titlebar with the menubar
You need to set the appropriate option in the Compiz Place Windows plugin.
This option is usually set by default, but sometimes for some reason it is not. I am not 100% certain as to the cause (still trying to find it). If you do not have the place windows plugin, make sure to check that you have any additional compiz plugins installed in the software center.

This looks like a subtle bug to me which seem to occur randomly in my case. To work around it, resizing the window from its bottom edge fixes the issue.
Place your cursor at the bottom of the application window in order to change it to re-size mode; and then just drag your mouse to the bottom edge of the screen. That would make the title bar visible once again.
The screenshot is when using Ubuntu GNOME, but this is how the cursor would also look in case of Unity.
