Bug Description

When I click on the Firefox symbol in the upper left most corner of the Firefox 5.0 window, all windows that are open become corrupted in that the thin horizontal bar that allows one to move, minimize, and maximize a window disappears. It then becomes impossible to close or maximize a window, and I have to logout to get the windows working correctly again.

hsg,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
