When a window is moved partially off screen to the side and almost to the top, the sticky effect (from extra desktop effects) will partly trigger, then stop, and go in an infinite cycle. After a couple of seconds the windows turns darker, and then dissapears.

Hi there
i couldn't really understand what you're talking about, but since it has to do with desktop effects, i'll presume it's compiz, maybe you could provide a screencast to demonstrate this issue.

Thanks in advance

Compiz seems like a good place for it, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to put in that field.

I tried to repeat what I did and I'm not getting the same results, although I'm not entirly sure what it is I did.

I'd send you a screencast but I don't know how to on ubuntu. Wikipedia says open GL can do it, but it doesnt say how...

Hi there
Sorry about the delay in the response, you could use gtk-recordmydesktop for instance to obtain a screencast , there's more information about screencasts and how to obtain them at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.

when you said that you're not getting the same results, do you mean that the issue isn't reproducible or that there's more ways to trigger the crash?.

Thanks in advance
