Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
Scenario:
- You are using the default Ubuntu theme, which has rounded corners for windows
- You have a maximised window for application A and, in front of it, a
non-maximised window for application B which is positioned in the top right
corner using the neat sticky/snap-to feature
- You smash your mouse into the top right, taking advantage of Fitts Law, and
click to close application B
Expected: Application B closes
Actual: Application A closes, because the corners are rounded and so you
actually hit the close button of the application behind!
This is really counter-intuitive. If you want to have rounded corners,
fine, but you need to keep the target area for the close button the
same, and square. It's caught me enough times now that I've switched to
UbuntuClassic, which doesn't have rounded corners.

Rounded corners for some apps on maximised windows mean you close the app
behind by mistake!
