Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz-gnome
After running gutsy for some time (hours), using the Extra Desktop setting, windows, upon being maximized, begin showing up as black rather than rendering the window contents. I am able to resize the window and move it around normally, but the contents remain black. The only way to resolve this once it happens is to resize the window until it is very small, and then the contents are rendered. If a window is not resizable, then I have to disable the desktop effects setting to restore the window contents. The hard part here is that the desktop settings window itself is not resizable, meaning when this happens I have to click around in the black window until I hit the right area to disable effects.

I am also seeing this bug. It also occurs when resizing windows to a size that
is a certain amount larger than their current size. Resizing a small amount
doesn't trigger it, but once you get past a certain amount the window goes
black, apart from the decorations. If you keep the mouse held down and
shrink the window to around its original size the contents reappear.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Thanks,
James
