Bug Description

When I resize Terminal windows, the windows themselves as well as all the decorations of other windows suddenly become semi-transparent. This only seems to happen when I resize Terminal windows AND have the Resize Info compiz plugin active. Though I notice the Resize Info plugin only seems to work for Terminal windows, so it seems to be more to do with the Resize Info plugin than Terminal.

Video attached.

I have seen this bug for a long time in Ubuntu 11.04, and now it's in Ubuntu 11.10 too.

Changing project to something invalid briefly because launchpad seems to have cached the old (wrong) project title for resizeinfo.

Hmm, that looks like a Launchpad bug. "Display info on resize similar to metacity. This project is a mirror of " should actually read "Compiz Resize Info Plugin"
