Windows size/position grows/changes when entering/leaving fullscreen mode

Reported by eric.mue...@googlemail.com, Dec 25 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Snap Chrome window to the top border of the screen to let it automatically fill the screen vertically. Let the windows e.g. right side touch the border of the screen on the same side. Adjust the window's width to your liking (e.g. half the screen width).  Example: https://i.imgur.com/pK97p6d.jpg

2. Change to fullscreen either using F11 or watch a video on Youtube and enter fullscreen mode. Then leave fullscreen mode again. Repeat.

What is the expected behavior?
When leaving fullscreen mode Chrome's window should be identical in size and position to what it was before entering and leaving fullscreen mode.

What went wrong?
After leaving the full screen mode, the window has grown in width and presumably hight.
While it seems like the center of the window and it's upper border stays put, the window size increases and therefore UI elements get pushed off the screen on the right (in my example, starting with what can be seen here: https://i.imgur.com/pK97p6d.jpg) and the bottom behind the taskbar and it ends up looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/IKXh1Rp.jpg

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Apparently the problen isn't new anymore. I recently switched to Win 10 Pro and I didn't have that problem with Win 7 Pro. This re-sizing/-positioning is crazy annoying to a point where I'm thinking about switching browsers after 10 years of using Chrome.
I've searched here (e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=899577) and elsewhere but no solution was found. 
In the cited bug report kkaluri@chromium.org asked to open another report if the issue persits - which I have done with posting with this report.

Addendum:
If you pay attention to the minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons on the top right in both screenshots, you can see that in the second one the close button and the vertical scroll bar are missing, being pushed off the screen. When looking at the left border of the Chrome window, you can also notice how it has moved further to the left when comparing the second to the first screenshot.

Sounds like bug 912369.

No idea what "Triage-M71" means.

Yes, it appears to be the same issue as 912369 though this is better described as for what actually happens. Also, this is a followup to 899577 - as requested there (and mentioned here).
Feel free to merge - the only thing I really care about is the bug getting fixed as soon as possible as it's slowly driving me nuts (considering how often just within an hour I'm going back and forth between fullscreen and windowed mode with Chrome).

This issue seems to be similar to Issue: 912369, hence merging into it and marking it as Duplicate.
Note: Feel free to Un-Dupe it if not the case.

Thanks!
