Switcher window borders are not properly unmapped with (unity|gtk)-window-decorator

[glennric]

Binary package hint: compiz

Install compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty1 from natty-proposed.

Test case:
1. Show desktop.
2. Open a terminal from the menu, and move it away from the center of the screen where the switcher will appear. Make sure that it still has focus.
3. Hold down Alt-Tab to activate and show the switcher.
4. While the switcher is still visible move the mouse to a point above the very bottom of the gray switcher window. Within a pixel or two of the bottom is sufficient.
5. Release Alt-Tab.
6. Click at the mouse position found in step 4. The desktop should take focus.

I have noticed that this happens with both the "Static Application Switcher" and the "Application Switcher" compiz plugins, however it does not happen with the other switcher plugins.

Test case:

0) Have an empty desktop with one window open and out of the way of where the switcher window will appear
1) Alt-tab
2) Move mouse to the very bottom of where the switcher window was (alt-tab again to check)
3) Click in that area and drag
4) You should see the nautilus selection rect

Where is this fix available? I can build from source, I just need to know where to obtain this fixed source. Neither the bzr repository for unity-window-decorator, nor the git repository for compiz seem to have had any commits since this bug was posted.

There is no such package, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz.

Also, this bug should not affect Unity, since I get this with Classic Ubuntu session.

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

My mistake, it affects Unity (U-w-d).
