Bug Description

Ubuntu hardy heron 8.04

Hi I've experienced this bug while using mozilla firefox as well as gnome terminal
I hope this explanation will suffice:
Sometimes when i click the upper right button to maximize a (non-maximized) window, it doesn't resize the window properly, the content of the window isn't resized to fit the window. I have compiz enabled (don't know if it's related or not).
Also, the contents of the window seem to be stuck (cannot type in, click etc.), I have to unmaximize and maximize again to display the window normally.
I have attached a screenshot to show the problem.

It doesn't happen always, maybe the first time you unmaximize/maximize a window. It does happen after 3-4 retries.
I couldn't reproduce it in metacity, so I'm marking it as a compiz bug

Thanks for your report, which video card do you have? Is that reproducible with another new user created on your system? Can you reproduce the same with the compiz package from the proposed repository? thanks.
