Bug Description

I am using an updated Ubuntu 11.10 alpha 3 and I installed the fglrx driver with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 graphic card.
With the radeon driver, I don't have the following problem.

Window decorations are not working properly, every window seems to have the focus (while it's not the case, of course) and window buttons are not highlighted when the mouse cursor goes over them.
This bug doesn't appear if a window is maximized, it only happend with non-maximized windows.
I tried different window themes (Radiance, Ambiance and even some other ones) but the issue remains present.
With Unity 2D, everything is working good.

I joined a screenshot.

Not sure where to put this, if it's working fine in unity 2d, would that suggest compiz issue?

I still have this bug with the latest updates (Unity 4.12.0).
For the moment, I use emerald instead of compiz-decorator.

I think this bug report is not exactly a duplicate of bug #781384.

The issue is almost the same, but it affects Ubuntu Oneiric (not Natty) and every window theme, including Ambiance and Radiance (which are not affected by the bug #781384).

Yannick Le Guen, the issue might have just become worse in Oneiric?
I'll be asking in the other bug if the issue now happens with all
themes or some
