[hardy] Compiz Plugin Scale keybinding for mouse give inconsistent behaviour

[JGJones]

Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-main

Version of Ubuntu: Hardy Heron

I installed the Compiz configuration settings manager so that I could configure Compiz to my liking. I use the Scale plugin (which give the same effect as Apple OSX's Expose) for selecting windows.

This works correctly on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbons)

After upgrading to Hardy Heron, I reconfigured my Compiz setting to match my previous settings however for Scale plugin this is what I use:

No keyboard keybinding - it's a behaviour that use the mouse so it make better sense to use the mouse to initate the plugin and this is the setting I use:

Windows from same workspace - Top screen, button 1
Windows from all workspaces - Top right screen, button 3

Expected behaviour is:

Top Screen, click button 1 - Windows scale (like Expose) and I pick the window to switch to with Button 1 again.
Top Right Screen, click button 3 - Windows from all workspaces scale and I pick the window to switch to with button 1 again.

What happens instead is:

Top Screen, click button 1 - Windows scale. Let go of button 1 - things go back to normal - I am unable to use Scale
Top Right Screen, click button 3 - Windows scale from all workspaces, Let go of button 3 - it all goes back (as above)

This is the same for any combination of top/right/bottom/others screen and mouse buttons

Compiz bug listing show this as bug #11331 - Inconsistent behaviour with Initiate Scale keybindings - http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11331 with patches available.

Same here, only in intrepid. Hardy was fine, intrepid is just like your. Strange.
