Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When maximizing a window by dragging it to the top-border of the screen, compiz freezes randomly. To me this only happened, when a second window on the same desktop was reaching a different desktop across a screen edge, yet I can't say whether this is required to reproduce the freeze.
Without doing anything else but just maximizing/restoring a nautilus-window after a few times the desktop freezes. The attached information was gathered from the frozen compiz-process.
