compiz hang while switching workspaces

[Nick Moffitt]

I was switching workspaces using keyboard shortcuts when the display hung. I could still see the mouse cursor moving around, and it seemed to change pointer type to react to the kinds of windows on the workspaces I tried to switch to after. I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a VC, and then went back to X, and the display un-froze. Only now I have frequent key input buffering problems.

As I type, it seems to only respond to events every second keypress. At first I thought this was sluggishness in the display, but it seems to be more related to the key inputs. The same also happens to mouse input (I tried to select a sentence, and didn't see the inverse text attribute for the selection until I let go).

This is frustrating enough that I'm going to have to restart X soon just to clear it out.

Logging out didn't help, and I had to hard reboot, alas! It hung with a black screen on logout.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
