Bug Description
Ubuntu 15.10]
I dont know what package but it affects retroarch and prison architect, not VLC, kodi, gimage, mcomix chrome,
I have seen mutliple games that run in full screen (retroarch, steam games, prison architect) each runs fine works well, I can switch them to windowed mode no problem. But if the fullscreen program is open and I hit the super key to bring up the dash the screen totally freezes, clock and every element on the screen. even desktop notifications. I have tried using the other shells available to kill the apps and nothing helps, but killing compiz resets all the widows and leaves the one that was full screen as a black window (but I am able to get out of it now with window switcher/desktop switcher) This has only happened since i did a fresh install of Willy

I beleive that everything that freezes is Open GL, I am able to reproduce this without fail in at least two full screen applications (prison archtect and retroarch, but not kodi) Volume notifications switching desktops, app switching, and chrome notifications all reproduce.
Kodi, web videos, mcomix does not reproduce the freezes.
So far I have not really found a way to recover, I have tried killing the app from tty, then restarting unity and that has worked a couple times but not consistently. I have no idea what exactly is causing this.
I can run these all windowed and have not problems,
