Unity freezes applications, unable to close them properly

[Shanekpiper]

I have noticed over the last few days when I am using Firefox in maximum view and have other application windows open under it, when I minimise it, it leave a ghost trail of about 3 to 4 graphical links in the top left of the screen, this happens on my laptop and my pc at work. One is using the intel GPU and the other NVIDIA, This occurs on both machines so its not related to the hardware but ubuntu 11.10 beta itself.

After FF is minimised other applications are in accessible, clicking on them does nothing, clicking randomly on the laucher sometimes works, and other times some applications are locked and can not be opened again and have to be force quit. super S also locked u, but may display one or 2 windows. It is as though the FF screen is laying over the top like a pain of glass.

I hope my explanation of the bug is understandable, and that other people too are having similar issues.

I have also noticed it only affects Unity 3D, If I have libreoffice open, skype, Firefox, jackd, I have to open, close, minimise, maximise to get access to them, its so annoying. Its starting to make unity look useless. Shame really, I hope this big bug can be fixed before the release.
