Ubuntu runs a heavily modified GNOME, and your issue is entirely in their taskbar extension. Vanilla GNOME on Fedora works fine for me.

It looks like they installed Ubuntu with vanilla GNOME (considering the "few years ago" part perhaps even the now discontinued GNOME flavor) rather using Ubuntu's interface. And their issue seems to lie in GNOME itself (no taskbar, activities overview-oriented interface) rather something Ubuntu is doing.
