Bug Description

Binary package hint: amsn

I can't move the window of aMSN chat program by clicking on the window bar. Bug is 100% reproducible.

aMSN is not crashed though. If I click in the window of aMSN, I can use it. It's the GNOME window manager that somehow can't move the window of aMSN. As far as I know, it only happens with aMSN.

When I click on the window bar, it looks as if the window loses focus.

I found that I can actually move the window by pressing alt + left-click in aMSN window + move mouse to move window. Once I do that, I can then move the window also by clicking in the window bar so somehow it fixes the problem.

But if I close aMSN and restart it, I then have the problem again (can't move the window other than using alt + left-click + mouse move)

Steps to reproduce (simple and 100% reproducible):

1. install aMSN is not already installed: sudo apt-get install aMSN
2. start aMSN from GNOME menu bar: Applications -> Internet -> aMSN
3. aMSN window should pop up, try to move the window by clicking in the aMSN window bar
4. observe that the window won't move

I'm using Ubuntu-7.04Feisty Fawn with all updates at the time of bug submission.

This is a problem with the window manager when enabling 3D effects (Beryl/Compiz). I did not have Desktop Effects though, but somehow my window manager was not the default metacity.
Going back to metacity window manager, everything works well.

But Beryl/Compiz is experimental in Feisty, so there are known issues with it. So priority of this issue can be low. I will check it again when I install Gutsy Gibbon.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
