Comment 8 for bug 1511835

Yes, indeed. The interesting thing about this problem is that the workaround is enabled by default. If my memory serves me correctly, Firefox, VLC, and some other applications are included *by default* in that option.

By the way: don't credit me. I found the solution on ask Ubuntu a long time ago. Before some knowledged engineer can have a look at the issue: the compiz config settings manager makes adding the rules quite easy. (Check out the button on the right of the input)
