Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When resizing the main application window, it does not resize correctly. In particular, when the top or left boundaries of the window are used to perform the resizing, the application's title-bar, main menu and icons are not redrawn correctly and become inaccessible.
Steps to reproduce:
1) From the Applications menu, start one of the OpenOffice applications (Word Processor, Spreadsheet or Presentation).
2) Attempt to resize the window by dragging the top or left edge of the application window (you may need to click the application window's "(un)maximise" button (top right, next to the "X" for closing the window) to allow resizing).
What I expect to happen:
The application's layout (including the title-bar, main menu and icons) should be adjusted and re-drawn dynamically as the application is resized, and then finally when the resize operation is complete.
What happens instead:
The application's layout is not adjusted, and the title-bar, main menu and/or icons become inaccessible.
WORKAROUND:
Right-click on the application in the panel at the bottom of the screen, and choose "Maximise" from the pop-up menu... then repeat and choose "unmaximise". The application is redrawn correctly in it's new size. (This does not work with "Minimise - Unminimise").

I see this problem too on an xubuntu system with Intel graphics, so it's not just an Nvidia problem.
