No window decoration when using compiz - unable to quit

[NoOp]

Binary package hint: moovida

Open moovida, use 'F' to exit full screen; no window decoration so no method to close the application. Only way to close is to kill the application via the terminal. Setting visual effects to 'None' resolves the issue.

This looks to me like bug #456271.
@NoOp: can you please confirm that this is the same issue?

[NoOp (glgxg)]

Yep. That's exactly the same issue. I've also verified by hiding the top panel; with the panel hidden, the window decorations are there and I then easily move the window or kill the application. Once the window has been moved below the top panel, I go back to full screen, then back to windowed screen and the window remains in the place that I moved it do below the top panel.

Now let's see if moovida remembers the settings from the moved window; I kill moovida, restart it, it opens full screen, 'F', and nope, again it is hidden above the top panel. Seems as if some basic screen position settings could resolve this. Shall I mark this as a dupe of 456271 & also add my comments there, or do you want to keep this one open for Ubuntu and point to 456271 as an upstream?

I'm closing this one as duplicate of bug #456271. You can add your comments there, in particular the fact that Moovida doesn't remember the last window's position after exiting is an interesting point.
