Strange mouse behavior (Window Management)

[Vincent Thiele]

After a maximized window is switched to the foreground, the mouse behaves not normally. When you want to click or hover over a button etc. The click is not triggered where your mousepointer is visible on screen but rather few pixels moved to the lower right side. To fix this temporarly you need to change the window size.

Bug reappears when disable "Show live previews of windows in switcher" in ccsm under "ubuntu unity plugin" -> "switcher".

[Ningfei Li (ningfei)]

The same problem here, still.

compiz: 0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1
unity: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1

If disabling "Show live previews of windows in switcher" in ccsm, minimize a window (let's say firefox or gedit), remaximize it. Then if I want to select text, I have to put the mouse pointer/the cursor one line above and several charactors left (compared to the real position I want) to do it.

However, if enabling "Show live previews of windows in switcher" , then you cannot use the hot corner to "Show Desktop" (ccsm-->General Options-->Key bindings-->Show Desktop). Set it to BottomLeft (any corner that's not conflict with other key bindings), with "Show live previews of windows in switcher" enabled, you can just use the hot corner to show desktop for once. Then if you check the Show Desktop setting in ccsm, it will be blank (not None but blank, nothing there).

This problem started from 13.10 and continues now in 14.04...
This bug report need to be reopened probably.

I changed to incomplete because bug reappears (comment #4 & #5).

[Expired for compiz (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I can confirm this bug: The maximized window of a number of applications displaces the effects of the mouse such that for clicking on a button I must click above a button to activate it. A similar bug has been reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/772612.
