4.10.0-0ubuntu1
NVIDIA 9800gtx+ with binary driver

once a window is minimized and then raised again from its icon in the launcher it is raised but nothing can be clicked, clicks are received through the window. The problem is more easily reproduce able for me on NVIDIA using proprietary driver than on my intel systems.

Have either of you got "keep previews of minimized windows" checked in
the workarounds plugin ?

I am running current Unity, fully updated. This is currently my major problem in usability of Oneiric. Once you minimize any window and restore it, you wont be able to use the minimize, maximize, close buttons or to click on the title area to move it. Clicking on these areas will effectively select anything that is behind the selected window. Nonetheless, clicking on the "content area" of the window works.

Not being able to minimize, close or move windows on the desktop is crazy. After a couple hours of work you just can't find anything on the desktop.

The workaround I am using is to click the launcher to restore the window and immediately press alt+space right after restoring it, so I get access to the mentioned not-working functions back (close, minimize, maximize, move, etc).
