Bug Description

This happens since I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Happens with Firefox 7.0.1, and only when I log in with "Ubuntu" configuration but not "Ubuntu2D".

Steps to reproduce:
-Open firefox.
-Use an extension than enables to write custom Javascript DOM code (better if it uses the main window scope, unlike the error console), like Custom Buttons, or Mouse Gestures Redox.
-Run the command window.minimize();

Thee firefox winndow minimizes to the Unity launcher, but when it is restored all the comboboxes in the chrome (the combos that suggest the url on the navigation bar or the user name on a login field of a webpage).

In addition, when I try to use autoscrolling (middle click when that option is enabled), the scrolling works, but the circle icon with the two arrows doesn't show up and the keyboard becomes unresponsive for the whole application, so I have to kit Firefox.

When I open firefox again, and click "Restore previous session" the window minimizes again, and when I restore it, the same occurs (no keyboard and no autoscroll).

Eventually the whole system crashes afterwards and I have to restart the computer, but it's probably due to the instability of Unity 3d rather than this particular bug.

Confirm. After minimizing FF window with gesture extension (such as fire gestures or all-in-one gestures), restored window doesn't allow to right-click on page, until window is unmaximized/maximized. I think this bug refers to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kile/+bug/438868 which was fixed six months ago.

The same happens on linux mint 12, so it's not an Unity-specific bug.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
