You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: unity
I previously reported this as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/768860. Further investigation on my part suggests the issue is with unity-window- decorator. The title bar is not updated on non-maximized windows unless the decorator is forced to redraw the title bar--usually on losing focus. I have confirmed this with GNOME-Terminal, GIMP, Firefox, and Geeqie. To reproduce: GIMP: Open a file. Modify it. Unless you switched to the Toolbox window, the image name doesn't get a prepended "*" to indicate the file has changed. Save it with CTRL-S. The "*" will not disappear until the window loses focus. Firefox: Open sites on multiple tabs. Switch between tabs as often as you like. The title bar text will not change unless the window loses focus. Maximize the Firefox window. Switch between tabs. The global menu title bar text will now change with each tab. GNOME-Terminal: Open a terminal. Change directories. Notice that the directory shown in the title bar does not match what is reported by `pwd`. Geeqie: Go to a directory with images. The title bar should change to show the name of each image as its displayed. Now maximize the window. The "title bar" text changes as each image is selected. For further testing, I chmod'ed /usr/bin/unity-window-decorator and restarted compiz-decorator to force the use of gtk-window-decorator. All title bars behaved normally (although I lost the rest of the unity interface). Personally, I find this bug to be a show-stopper. I've been using the Unity interface for a week and this is one of the two issues that would keep me using the "classic" GNOME interface instead of Unity. This may be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/768356 but I was unable to append any comments to that bug. That report was also specific to Firefox, which I think is a bit misleading since the issue affects all applications which provide feedback via the title bar.
