Bug Description

I use unity 7 as a pseudo-tiling window manager: I slide terminals and firefox to the sides of the screen to get them to automatically expand to fill half of the screen space, similar to the Windows 7 feature.

I stack a firefox over urxvt on one side of the screen and use middle-click on the title bar to send the top window to the bottom of the stack.

This has failed twice in the last few weeks.

Thanks

Fabio, I'm confident that the mouse isn't to blame, middle-click worked fine on other windows to send-to-bottom and to paste from the selection buffer when this happened, and restarting the clients in question allowed it to work on them again.

I've run the apport-collect command, though the intervening three weeks might have been enough time to overwrite anything that might have been useful from the time of this bug report.

Thanks
