ccsm crashed with AttributeError in CheckActionConflicts()

[KIAaze]

Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager

Crash while I was trying to set the shortcut for "Initiate" to shift+super+F for the paint fire plugin.
The desktop effects still work as before and the ccsm window is still open.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I completely forgot about this bug.
But I just tried again and now it's more interesting:

After setting shift+super+F to initiate fire painting, the key combination
works to activate fire painting (it draws a single dot since it's not
dependent on mouse movement).
However, after using it all open windows became partially responsive (except
ccsm).
For example, in this case, kate and firefox were open. I couldn't select any
text in them or move up and down.
I could use the menu in Kate to create a new document, but the new document
didn't show up.
I could click on other tabs or create a new tab in firefox, but it still
displayed the same page, while the text in the title bar changed.
Switching between windows worked.
The applications/places/system menu worked too.

I made another test using the default binding for initiate
(shift+super+mouse1) and obtained the same results: painting fire partially
disables other windows.

Both were with and without clearing the fire paint.

After deactivating desktop effects, the windows were usable again.

However, I would like to note that I currently have a not so clean system.
I allready upgraded to Intrepid and the latests upgrades I made through
synaptic forced me to remove a lot of packages and sound is not working
anymore for example:

Since it's been a very long time since any additional info was added to this bug, I'm just checking to see if this is still an issue, and find out what additional work should be done on this bug.

[KIAaze (zohn-joidberg)]

I managed to reproduce the problem again, but only once.
Firefox still worked, but Kate was unusable again.
After minimizing+maximizing the Kate window, it worked again.

After that, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue again, despite having
logged out and in again, disabling/reenabling desktop effects.

I'll post again if I find a way to reliably reproduce the bug (maybe I
can reproduce it after rebooting... :/ ).

Does the crash that was originally reported still occur with Intrepid release?

[KIAaze (zohn-joidberg)]

No, no more crash.

As for the "Kate not reponding after activating fire painting", I can only reproduce it once after every reboot (logging in/out or deactivating/reactivating compiz doesn't work).
Minimizing and maximizing the Kate window makes it work again, so it's not such a big problem.

This bug report is being closed as the crash originally reported no longer occurs with the latest Ubuntu release. If you are having a separate issue with kate, you should file a new bug report for it. Thanks for your report.
