Saivann Carignan (oxmosys) wrote : X freeze when switching between OpenOffice and Firefox

I reproduced this bug multiple times on two computers (ATI/nvidia) and it is caused by the little Bullets and Numbering toolbox in OpenOffice.

Steps to reproduce :
1. Have compiz enabled.
2. Open the attached OpenOffice document and click on the text, the Bullets and Numbering toolbox should appear.
3. Open a Firefox window.
4. Try to switch multiple times between OpenOffice and Firefox window.

Result : X is now freeze and compiz is eating all the CPU. It's still possible to open tty6 with Alt+SysRec+R and Ctrl+Alt+F6, compiz and X does not seem to crash, I can't get any backtraces yet.

When reproduced with metacity, X does not freeze, but the Firefox window needs to be clicked twice before it opens up.
