Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Sorry, couldn't get real step to reproduce this reliably, but:
- have a maximized application on your ws
- ws layout is 1x4
- sometimes, opening a new application set this application above the current one: the lower side of the application is just above the existing window decorator.

Post your ~/.config/compizconfig/Default.ini and give me a specific list of applications that this happens with. I cannot debug things that happen "sometimes" because "sometimes" for you is almost never for me. I need exact steps, including applications, what exactly you are doing what exactly you have open - anything which will reproduce it all the time.

As told on the others bug report, you know that :
This file is empty (I'm using the default unity profile btw, not the Default one). seb128 also got it.

It happened in this case with gedit, but I don't think it's related to any application launched.
It happened with:
- chromium maximized
- open gedit.

If I tell that I can't reproduce it reliably, it's that I can't. But I got it randomely, 5-6 times in the last week and others are complaining about it too…
