Audacious bug in window manager in Ubuntu since 11.04 / 11.10

[Jarosław Guza]

First of all, i thought its a bug in audacious, but when i mailed with devs from Audacious, they said its a BUG in Ubuntu window manager, which is Compiz..and its up there since Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10.

what its all about?

its annoying bug, when u use audacious in a " winamp " view, and u have opened player with playlist, and when u want to minimize audacious, PLAYLIST is stayin avalaible on dekstop, when it also should get minimized to launcher.

Can anybody fix this bug in compiz??

i 've posted video of it here:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[MC Return (mc-return)]

I could reproduce it, but just once, and just after changing the interface view from Classic Interface to GTK and back again.
In my case it was the equalizer, which stayed on screen...

Now (after repeating those steps) I am not able to reproduce it anymore.
There are many changes in trunk, which have not yet been released in Ubuntu, which might be the reason for my experience.

@Jarosław Guza: AFAIK a new version of Compiz will be released to Ubuntu 13.04 soon, please retry with this one then and post your experience here. Thanks.
