This seems to have something to do with Compiz & Fullscreen requests. I created a brand new user and it did the same thing. However I tested at home (on a much bigger screen, dual head Nvidia set-up for video playback) and couldn't reproduce.
Testing again (on new profile) and when changing to metacity (using --replace) the terminal displayed issues about a fullscreen window. Changed back to compiz and through CCSM disable "unredirect full screen windows" in OpenGL and Workarounds. This solved the bug. Re-enabled both settings and it still works as expected. If it re-appears I'll test again to see which work-around solved it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862231 Title: Compiz Window Decorator fails on Evolution Compose New Email Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Oneiric Beta 2: How to reproduce: 1 - If you new emails default to maximised, open a new window and the window will be greater than the unity panel and launcher with no window decoration (see maximised.png). [The only way to close this is with Escape, resizing or unmaximising buttons / keys don't work, Alt- Tab doesn't control it properly either] 2 - If there are decorations initially on the maximised window, un- maximising the window creates a window with no decorations (see unmax.png) Expected results: Compose window has full decoration just like in Unity-2d or Metacity (see metacity.png) evolution 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 compiz 1:0.9.6-0ubuntu1 fglrx-updates 2:8.881-0ubuntu4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/862231/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
