Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

i am getting this intermittently on both unity, and ubuntu classic desktop (with compiz) in natty. it seems to affect firefox worst, but other apps too.

when i click on the menu it drops down, when i try to move the mouse to click on one of the options the menu disappears. it happens with the context (right click) menus. and select elements in forms, eg http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_option

it goes away after a while. not sure how to trigger it.

Thanks for the bug report. Can you please make a screencast of the problem we are facing? that would really help us understand the problem.

I also confirm this. It usually occurs after one resumes session from gnome-screensaver, but it occurs randomly as well. Once we minimize the window or just change windows and come back, then this doesn't occur anymore.

This has been fixed in Compiz: http://cgit.compiz.org/compiz/core/commit/?id=30a92d8a060d79181a28840d7c66428ef431200c

It would be great if that patch made it into Natty.

Still present in 11.10, can anyone else confirm?

I'm only having issues with firefox and thunderbird, could it be xul related?

I can consistently reproduce it by changing windows using the Scale plugin.

I've been able to reproduce it 100% of the times if I have 2 xul windows in different workspaces, either 2 firefox windows, or firefox and thunderbird. Changing to each with the Scale plugin will trigger this bug. It doesn't happen if both windows are moved to the same workspace.
