Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Using maximus with scale triggered by top right screen corner.
nVidia 180 binary drivers on Ubuntu 9.04 beta, up-to-date as of today.
Verbose debug information should be automatically attached by apport.

I do have compiz stability problems on this OS, but usually I just kill X, 'cause I don't know what's going on. This bug is probably my problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Karmic Koala. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Upstream believes this bug is fixed with the version of compiz in karmic.

I do not have any idea what settings and plugins I was using when I filed
this bug via apport, and since that time I have switched from compiz to
xmonad. I am glad to hear that compiz may have gained some stability, and
very much look forward to my finding it solid enough again for regular use.
