(Get the code!)
I just wanted to confirm that this is happening on both by Nvidia TwinView desktop and my Intel 945GM laptop. Both of these systems are ubuntu 12.04 - amd64. Problematic behavior disappears after disabling the place plugin within compiz. After disabling this plugin remember that holding the alt key will allow you to move a window even if you can't grab the bar along the top.
The worst impact of this bug for me is windows getting stuck to the top and bottom of the screen. After a window has touched either the bottom or top of the screen it will permanently be stuck there. I can drag the window away from the edge but the moment I release the mouse button the window will return to the edge. Moving a window to the left or right causes the mouse cursor to no longer match up with the window....This causes a certain degree of desktop flipping and window management havoc. I use a 4x1 (4 columns x 1 row) workspace layout so moving windows off the workspace left or right is different than moving them up or down.
