Bug Description

Hi,

I'm not really sure of what triggers this behaviour, but, after some time using a Ubuntu session, the window buttons (close, minimize, maximize) are unreachable and unclickable - if I focus my mouse cursor over them, they get hidden, and the window title shows up in front of them, as if I wasn't hovering the window bar -. This only happens if I hover the cursor on the corner of the window, however the window menu and buttons are shown if I hover the menu options themselves.

A video with a demonstration of me reproducing this bug can be found here:

Notice how, exactly when I hover the upper left corner, they are replaced by the window title.

This doesn't happen right in the start of the session; For instance, if I restart my user session, they get back to working properly, but there seems to be some application that somehow triggers this behaviour. (One that I'm a bit suspected of is Choqok, as it's a KDE application, and which I use in a regular basis.)

Here are my specs:
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04

Any ideas of what that might be?

Cheers,

Diogo

Update: I think I've been able to work around this issue; it seems that, after closing Steam (via "Exit" from the icons tray), the buttons got reachable/clickable again. As soon as I got them problematic again, hence reproducing this bug, I'll see if Steam is running, and, if so, I'll close it and see again if this brings my buttons back.
