Bug Description
this started appearing right after the release of unity-4.
The symptoms are pretty much the same as seen in this bug though the issue with the workspace switcher(expo) started a bit earlier & at that point rotate/cube was still ok
bug 861088
The above bug seems to have been fixed with compiz-
The flashing is seen in all means of switching with rotate, ie. crtl+alt=arrow keys, scroll on desktop, ect.

Same problem.
Switching workspaces when using the cube and ctrl+alt+arrow produces a momentary flash of the previous workspace
you just switched from.
Also when using ctrl+alt+
to the previous workspace.

I can also confirm this bug. It is possible to move windows to another worspace by dragging them over with the mouse but that is the only way.
| Unc0nn3ct3d (netflow) wrote : | #13 |
I found a pretty rough workaround for this. If you move the window with ctrl-alt-shift left/right and then when yhou get it where you want it quickly let go of shift and just rotate the cube somewhere else the window will stay in place.
| Sergio Costas (rastersoft-gmail) wrote : | #14 |
Same here with ATI's privative driver, Ubuntu 11.10 and Gnome in fallback mode.
Also, the window in the final desktop looses the focus, forcing to click on it with the mouse to regain it and be able to type. This is very annoying when coding with the editor in one desktop, and with the documentation in other desktop.
| Ayzen (ayzen-quwe) wrote : | #15 |

This appears to happen regardless of window manager. I've seen this behaviour in Unity, Gnome classic, XFCE4, LXDE, Lubuntu and MATE (the Gnome2 fork).
The focus issue appears in all the above, as well as the moving windows with keyboard shortcuts. A serious regression seems to have been introduced with Ubuntu 11.10 that affects a range of display issues.

The message I'm started to get in 11.04, and even more in 11.10 is that Ubuntu doesn't care about there power users anymore. Sorry everybody, just hope it gets fixed by luck in 12.04. This issue doesn't affect the out of box experience, someone has to change a setting to expose this. Changing settings not allowed!

| CarVac (airplaniac2002) wrote : | #28 |
Possibly related to this problem (which I'm experiencing on Intel graphics) is when I switch desktops, the momentary flashing seems to focus on the last window used on the other desktop, meaning I have to click or alt-tab to select a window on the current desktop before I can type or use any keyboard shortcuts. It's incredibly irritating.
I also have window focus issues with the scale plugin, which may or may not be related: when I click to select a window in that plugin, the window sometimes receives the click, doing something that I don't want it to do.
| Andrew Rowls (eternicode) wrote : | #29 |
I'm suffering from this, too; rotate cube shows a flash of the previous workspace, moving a window with rotate cube borks after the rotation, and using "fade" for my focus animation causes a flicker instead of a smooth fade ( might be #147141 ).
Oneiric x64, Intel core i5-2430M HD3000 integrated graphics with i915 driver. My environment is built up from an ubuntu server base, so no unity. Xdm + ~/.xinitrc + compiz is my wm.
My workaround until this is resolved is to use Desktop Wall instead of Cube. Wall works really well for both desktop switching and window moving -- probably because it's the primary workspace manager for Unity.
| gunwald (gunwald) wrote : | #30 |
Is there any hope that this bug will be fixed soon? Or is it recommended to change the compiz configuration for all my 12 workplaces telling everyone that due to a bug he has to get used to a new effect. Desktop cube with this bug became unfortunately unusable, this flickering drives you crazy.
| Gabriele (gabriele-puppis) wrote : | #31 |
Is this bug still unassigned?? It is not just the flickering that drives you crazy, it is also the fact that you cannot rotate the desktop with a window (so you cannot move windows between different workspaces). I am quite disappointed with this last distribution...too many bugs.

I also see it with Nvidia propriety driver (Ubuntu 11.10)
Window flash after rotate noticeable
"move with window" feature not working, just leaves the window on the original workspace
I have the exactly same issues here on my computers running Ubuntu 11.10: Acer aspire one 532h with Intel Corporation N10 family and Acer Aspire R3610 with nVidia Corporation ION VGA.
One thing I notice is that if I go to System Definitions > System info, graphics there appear as UNKNOWN, don't know if it is related to bug or not, but it is weird since graphics info appears if I use command line: lspci. This happens in both machines.
Hope someone can fix this, cause these are, for me, is much used to switch screens and change window from one screen to another.
Also, I found that when I try to 'drag and drop' one window from one screen to other, the process never finishes... Rotation slows down as mouse gets closer to the left/right screen border.

It seems that the developer I was communicating with was mistaken as to the cause of this issue - and he's "not really supposed to use work time to support things like the cube."
The root of the problem here seems to be that Canonical/Ubuntu developers have decided that, even though their new pet project Unit depends on Compiz, they don't actually support Compiz; as seen in the mailing list discussion mentioned here several comments back, some of them are even pushing to remove the CompizConfig Settings Manager from official Ubuntu repos completely, because people use it to break things and then file bugs. The actual problem here is surely that they've broken Compiz (or "upgraded" to a broken version because they haven't tested properly before upgrading - I'm not sure which, but I'm also not sure which is worse) and are ignoring that fact because it's part of Compiz that the all-holy Unity doesn't use by default.
Ubuntu seems to be moving rapidly away from a good base that anybody can easily tweak to suit them, and towards a pre-packaged box that breaks if you so much as think about tweaking it to suit you. I've been using Ubuntu since the relatively early days, but it seems to be becoming exactly that which I sought to avoid by moving to Ubuntu as my primary OS - a precarious arrangement which is liable to topple if looked at the wrong way. (Yes, it's always been possible to break Ubuntu - but you used to have to actively try doing something out of the ordinary to do so!)
If anybody can suggest an alternative distro that includes kernel >= 3.0, Gnome (preferably 2, but I'll take 3 if it's a stable build which plays nice with Compiz) and Compiz (a working version - not this unsupported, broken mess), I might just have to switch. I can't downgrade to an earlier Ubuntu, as the main reason for moving to 11.10 was to get kernel 3.0; 2.6 doesn't support half the hardware in this laptop.

You can always revert to Lucid and use oneiric Kernel. Works just fine!

You can also follow mate development to see if they come up with a solution

I could not agree more with Maximinus, especially on the fact that Ubuntu is becoming a pre-packaged distribution. Anyway, such is the life of any OS, apparently.
| Markus Wells (mwells-a) wrote : | #77 |
Add me to Maximinus' camp too. I have turned a lot of people on to ubuntu for the very reason that it is inherently "tweekable." I have to say that it REALLY makes me mad that they would forget where their (almost) entire code base comes from and try to become the next Apple or Microsoft.
Please consider this friendly warning Canonical management, brought to you by a loyal user whose loyaly is rapidly fraying: The world doesn't need another Microsoft or Apple, and if you try to become like them IN ANY WAY you risk legions of you followers jumping ship, forking the code, and thumbing their nose at you. I'm usually right about these things - you would do well to heed this friendly warning.
All that said, count me among the numbers having the flashing windows with the rotating cube problem.
What do you say guys - is it time to fork Ubuntu or what?
| Sam_ (and-sam) wrote : | #78 |
Well then, if someone here is able to fork Ubuntu why not fix compiz?
btw. it's easier to install any kernel on a given OS than to find one which runs compiz well.
| Maximinus (max-thrax) wrote : | #79 |
I don't have the time (nor the knowledge/skills, though if I had even more time, I could probably fix that...) to fork Ubuntu - or even to try to fix Compiz at this stage.
My laptop (my primary machine) has just broken again (due to flawed power socket design), so I may well end up doing a clean setup on a new machine soon. If I do, in lieu of a better option, I might have to try the above solution from sterios - Lucid with Oneiric's kernel (thanks for linking to that PPA - if it applies cleanly and doesn't break anything, that's about a million times better than the reports I'd seen of trying to use 3.x on earlier 'buntus).

| quequotion (quequotion) wrote : | #87 |
The main developer supposedly had a fix for this in November, but it has never surfaced in any public bzr repositories.
Where compiz once had a thriving community, there's now only a ghost-town of a forum, a painfully out of date website, and a dead git repository replaced by a mess of bzr branches with no apparent development strategy or focus.
Compiz has been declared dead in the blogosphere.
Support for it has been removed from other distros.
Cube is NOT a niche interest; it WAS the defining characteristic of the compiz desktop.
What is going on here?
| Gabriele (gabriele-puppis) wrote : | #88 |
Never mind, I just reinstalled Lucid from scratch, after the login in Oneiric had completely gone due to another bug in Unity!
I have to say that going back to the old robust Lucid is such a relief!
I think I will never upgrade again, at least for the time Lucid support is available.
| Gabriele (gabriele-puppis) wrote : | #89 |
BTW. a lot of bugs has gone by switching from Oneiric to Lucid, e.g.: window focus on change of desktop, keyboard search inside folders, rabbitvcs repositories, resolution on switching to secondary screen, ...
I have never noticed how many new bugs have been introduced, and never solved, with the last three distros!

I'v been upgrading ubuntu in the belief that newer is better. Now I've reached 12.04 precise and the cube flash remains.
IMHO users can not expect developers fighting with tons of codelines in order to fix compiz, bout I'd dare to ask ubuntu people to build a package containing an old compiz version and a couple of lines of instructions to downgrade it. No more than two hours of their time.
It's not difficult to install debian stable and kernel 3.2 using backports or so, but I feel bad leaving ubuntu.

Be careful!
Unless you intend to usea lot of Natty packages or downgrade to Natty, I wouldn't recommend adding the entire Natty repos to your sources and updating.
A much more safe workaround would be to download the packages individually and install them with dpkg.
We have to push for or contribute to a fix in Oneiric/Precise.
I have an idea, but not a very good one.
If we know 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 did not have this bug, but 0.9.6+bzr201109
Then we simply have to compile and run each version of compiz between them to find the exact lines of code that cause this problem.
Anybody have a week of free time coming up?

one more thing,
If you're going to use the older version and wait it out, you need to learn about apt-pinning.
Unless those packages are pinned, the next upgrade will overwrite them with the latest version.
You'll be right back where you started.

Proceed like Lee says and after that, declick the Natty repositories from the Update Manager.
Besides, add the following packages to the "ignored packages" (I'm translating form spanish so not sure this is the righ tab name) in the Update Manager to be sure compiz will not update:
