Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Malte Pannemann (malte-pannemann)]

I press F10 to open the Globalmenu and this Bug was happen

[morryis (morryis)]

This still happens quite frequently. Sometime some windows are also loosing their window decoration, especially when de-maximizing by double clicking on the unity panel. Doing this a few times leads to the described compiz crash

[Rocko (rockorequin)]

I guess we're still waiting on the fix to be released in unity 4.22.0? compiz is crashing at least several times a day here. Sometimes keyboard input stops working so I can't even drop to a tty console and restart lightdm.

[evnidetr (pyrotechwannabe)]

Ouch, that sucks Rocko, sorry to hear that. Ditto on multiple crashes a day though. I've also experienced partial keyboard input failure (touchpad and left/right click options, though a wireless mouse fixes that). And morryis, I've noticed compiz crashing most frequently when I de-maximize as well.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3

[Jared (jared-vanvolkenburg)]

@evniter and @Rocko - I have experienced the failure or my touch-pad /mouse and my keyboard not responding at all. The only way to get out of it for me has been to hit my power button. I wasn't sure if it was related to this crash or where to report it as a bug. It seems to happen after awhile of using my netbook. Not necessarily after a crash that i am aware of.

[Michael Lazarev (milaz)]

It happened to me when I was typing the text into a chat window in Gmail.
I used ordinary Firefox 7.0.1 shipped with Oneric.
So, Compiz crashed. After I rebooted, I tried using that chat again, and Compiz again crashed.

I don't have tried compiz - 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3 yet.
I'll see if this bug goes away with it.

[Paolo Stivanin (polslinux)]

also with unity 4.22 + compiz update ad the 5th of october

[ValeryK (valerykononenko)]

at the 6th of october I,m install all updates, and compiz was also. I'm open "onboard" with firefox: compiz freez at all .I'm restart computer, then I open software center: compiz freez, then crush and restart.

[Bryan Agee (bryanagee)]

Also seems to happen a lot w netbeans opening/closing.

Still reproduces for me, just tried to minimize firefox's window.

It just happened to me when there was nothing running. Right clicked on the desktop, and got this error

[Alexander Tankeev (atankeev)]

Just got this crash on fully updated system (unity 4.22.0-0ubuntu2, compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3)

[iGadget (igadget)]

I just got this crash when de-maximizing a new Chromium window. I wasn't sure which bug report to subscribe to, because this bug seems to have a lot of duplicates / similar reports:
#820013, #852383 and #821312 for example.

[z3z (z3z)]

Installed a bunch of updates yesterday, logged in this morning, launched Firefox & this error came up.

[Francis Earl (francis-earl)]

Same as for others, after updates, I have been away from the machine for a while and upon login and trying to load the terminal Compiz has crashed and respawned... has happened a couple times, not just with the current updates. I would guess it is a problem with Nvidia not with Compiz itself but I'm going to leave this here to see if anything comes of it.

[iGadget (igadget)]

Just got this crash again under the exact same circumstances:
1. Resume from suspend
2. Do CTRL+N on a running Chromium session
3. De-maximize the newly opened window
4. Compiz crashes.

The stupid part is that this doesn't seem to be happening *every time* (sometimes openening a new window and then de-maximizing it doesn't crash compiz).
I'm running Unity 4.22.0 ubuntu2 (upgrading as we speak to 4.22.0 ubuntu3), but this bug wasn't mentioned in the change log so I guess it's still present...
