Can we please re-open this bug? There is no released fix that ever worked for me. I'm on 14.04 development, fresh install and I still experience this bug following the original steps to reproduce:
- minimize window - show scale (super+w) - hide scale (super+w) - click on window in launcher -> black empty window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white Status in Compiz: Triaged Status in Compiz Core: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: compiz When switching focus from one window to another, the target window may become blank. See the attached screenshot, where I opened two gnome- terminals and clicked on their titlebars alternately - the issue was triggered after about 5-10 clicks. I've had this happen on other appications too, e.g. software-centre, empathy, etc. HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1. Minimize a window 2. Initiate Scale and deactivate it again (press Super+W to show all windows and then press it again to go back to normal) 3. Click the window icon on the launcher to maximize it again. 4. The window contents will be white or black depending on the Ubuntu version WORKAROUND: Uncheck CCSM -> Ubuntu Unity Plugin -> Switcher -> Show live previews of windows in the Switcher. Side-effect: scale doesn't show minimized windows.
