Same thing happened here. Seems to be the new update they just issued.
I'm also experiencing a type of off/on jumpiness whenever I click on anything which is getting annoying.
Although you can close/exit through the File menu it is annoying.

I have found that operating the F11 key will bring back and display the keys
but, it won't stay. You must operate the F11 key each time to display the
minimum, maximum and close icons??

I am relatively new to Ubuntu, is there anything I should do about the bug,
or is it ok the way it is? It is now working after I applied F11.
I am 73 so I am lucky to come up with this answer! Ha

No problem now, I was just wondering if I should do anything about the bug
in the nvidia graphics adapter? If not, it is working ok now.
