[Patrick Kilgore]

Binary package hint: istanbul

Note this is *not* a hard crash, the process just goes to 0% CPU must be killed via users method of choice. This bug has extremely similar symptomology to bug 63996

Test Case 1 (Lockup Causing):
1. Enable desktop effects via system->preferences->appearance->visual effects
2. Start istanbul and uncheck the "record 3D" option
3. Let istanbul record the desktop for a few seconds, then end the recording via a left click on the icon.

Expected Behavior: Istanbul prompts the user for the directory in which to save the recording file and returns to the system tray in non-recording mode.

Observed Behavior: Nothing happens. Tray icon no longer displays tooltip or responds to input. istanbul process must be killed via terminal/htop/ect...

Test Case 2 (Works Fine):
1. Disable desktop effects via system->preferences->appearance->visual effects
2. Start istanbul and make sure the record 3D option is unchecked
3. Let istanbul record the desktop for a few seconds, then end the recording via a left click on the icon.

Expected Behavior = Observed Behavior: Istanbul prompts the user for the directory in which to save the recording file and returns to the system tray in non-recording mode.

I've confirmed this bug based on the comments in bug 63996.

Still present in karmic.

Same issue with affects enables, seems specific to having compiz enabled.

Running Karmic with compiz enabled on ATI hardware with propriety drivers.
