Bug Description
Running the atom editor (www.atom.io) on ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-panel + compiz leads to compiz crash when pressing alt-tab to switch to a different window.
Reproduces every time.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
compiz:
Installed: 1:0.9.11.
Candidate: 1:0.9.11.
Version table:
*** 1:0.9.11.
500 http://
100 /var/lib/

3) What you expected to happen
I expected ctrl-tab to switch me to a different window.
4) What happened instead
The environment freezes, despite mouse still moving. No application or item in the windowing system responds and ultimately compiz crashes (~5 seconds later), leading up to black screen followed by a default graphical login prompt.
This bug is fully reproducible in my environment and I'm eager to help debug it.

The same sort of behaviour has been experienced, although not as easily reproducible, when using firefox with multiple open windows spread across different workspaces.
