Bug Description

Running Ubuntu Gutsy, compiz 1.0.6.0+git20071008-0ubuntu1.1, firefox 2.0.0.11

When I drag a firefox tab and drop it on to the firefox title bar, a large gray box appears in front of everything. I can't get rid of it.
It appears on all my workspaces.

I have uploaded a screen shot here: http://www.japanmusicamazing.com/misc/Screenshot.png

With compiz turned off the problem doesn't occur.

This is still occurring and is worse than I thought. Dragging icons on the desktop also causes the big gray box to appear.
Is there a setting file that I could upload to see if anyone can replicate this problem?

Upon further investigation it looks like the problem is with the Window Rules plugin. If I enable this plugin, then restart the computer, the problem appears. I just have to drag an icon around on the desktop and I get the big gray bug. Disabling this plugin causes the problem to disappear immediately.
The only rules I have set up are various fixed window size rules.
