Applications fail to get correct geometry when hidden/shown with Compiz

[Oli]

Binary package hint: compiz

I apologise for the cryptic title. I'll try to explain. I use the "Classic" gnome-panels desktop with Compiz. Several applications provide Notification area icons that if clicked will toggle the visibility of the application (gwibber, banshee, liferea, etc).

When Compiz is used, each visibility cycle (from visible to invisible to visible) moves the window to the right by 7px. I suggest that something in the Window Manager is reporting or storing an incorrect z,y coordinate.

This is constant for all applications that provide Notification Area icons to toggle visibility. Standard minimising/maximising does not illicit this bug. Things work as they should under Metacity, hence I'm filing this against Compiz.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.

Thank you for your help and patience.
