Yes, you should file a bug report with the mutter WM team.

It looks like there is something wrong with their WM.  I'm not
sure what; either the WM fails to observe the window size attributes,
or maybe it fails to give us a configure event that FOX uses to
layout the widgets after a WM-determined size.

I'm using XFCE most times so have not ran into this issue,
