This always happened, as far as I can remember.
Got suddenly reminded of it by fellow Ubuntu forums user.

He posted a video of the problem here: http://www.vimeo.com/10127262

Still see similar behavior here on fully up-to-date lucid.

I've always seen this and still see it in Maverick. In case anyone is interested, if you use emerald instead of metacity the problem goes away, but then you have to deal with emerald occasionally crashing.

Only security issues are now being considered for this release of Compiz (0.8).
