Bug Description
When resizing windows using the "hotspots" (i.e. drag to top for full-size, drag to right for right-half, etc), it generally works fine.
However, if I drag a window to the top hotspot, and release it too quickly, before the orange border has had time to fill the screen, then the window will not resize, the orange border will stay almost-complete and I will be unable to interact with the GUI.
**EDIT** It appears not to have anything to do with speed of release, as the same problem happened after posting, but I held the window "in limbo" for a second or two, and the border did finish filling the screen.
Dropping to tty and back to display blanks the screen, displaying only the cursor
Replacing unity using tty works, and I can use the interface as normal from thenceforth, including resizing the window that caused the crash.
I haven't had the problem with Left or Right hotspots, but I don't use them nearly as much.
I thought the problem was with Chrome, but I've managed to reproduce (accidentally) using Libreoffice Writer and Libreoffice Calc.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The behaviour seems to be arbitrary, and it appears impossible to predict when it will happen, but it is always upon a "failed" window resize. It just happened to me again, and has been happening a few times a day the past couple of weeks.
