Bug Description

if I minimize a window, reopening, it becomes black. Not always, just sometimes. I partially solved the problem by disabling the effect of "maximizing" with untiy-tweak-tool.

Morphis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1375007

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi.
Sorry for my english, is very bed.

You mean about solve this problem for ubuntu 14.04-14.10?

In this case, if i'm the only one with this problem, for me is not so
important. I think i stay with 15.04 if works good.
