I can't reproduce this, could you please follow the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/FilingBugs#Getting_a_stack_trace and attach a trace?

Hi Alex,
I have tested with the last updates and this seems now fixed for me.......

[Alexey Kotlyarov (koterpillar)]

It doesn't crash now, but the window outline stays there and only disappears when I'm moving between windows again.

How to reproduce it:

1. Open two terminals, run "exec sleep 10" in one.
2. Press Alt-` twice so the "exec sleep 10" terminal is selected.
3. Wait for 10 seconds until the terminal closes.

Expected results:

Once the terminal closes, only one remaining terminal window is shown in the switcher.

Actual results:

The orange outline of the closed terminal window is still there. If the other terminal was selected, blank space from the closed window is there.
