Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Seems that there is a race in X11 where we do not receive the EnterNotify event for our edge windows, so this needs to be addressed since it messes up the internal state of compiz such that mouse click actions are not recognized.

Edge testing case Edit (881 bytes, application/x-tar)

Test it with the following testcase. Set the edge to something, put a window in the middle of the screen, mouse over to the edge and attempt to alt-drag the window. It should work.

  * New upstream bug fix snapshot:
    - Application windows can sometimes fail to display and will
      mask regions of the screen (LP: #709461)
    - Compiz switcher Alt-Tab order is not predictable - should
      maintain LIFO ordering in application switcher (LP: #175874)
    - after compiz crashed, gnome-panel isn't mapped again (LP: #711378)
    - invisible windows border problem (LP: #710271)
    - Compiz thinks you are clicking in an edge window when you
      are not (LP: #734250)
    - Add test case for invisible window regressions (LP: #736876)
    - often can't alt-click-dnd to move the focussed dialog (LP: #711911)
    - When windows open for the first time they should not hide (LP: #723878)
    - Unity Grid is broken for multi-monitor setups (LP: #709221)
    - Pixmaps trashed during animations when window is unmapped (LP: #733331)
    - Windows have blank decorations when rapidly closing and
      reopening (LP: #733328)
    - Unity is not restored on unity/compiz crash: compiz doesn't register
      properly with gnome-session (LP: #716462)
  * remove the patch taken from upstream
  * refresh u-w-d patch with latest upstream work
  * debian/compiz-core.install:
    - image move to the final destination
  * debian/patches/100_bump_core.h.patch:
    - bump for ABI breakage
  * debian/compiz-decorator:
    - use gtk-window-decorator and not unity-window-decorator as it's really
      crashy for now (will probably redo an upload tomorrow with a fixed
      decorator)
