The fix for this has caused a small regression, so it can't be included in the pending Compiz SRU and has to be reverted. The good news is that a proper fix has been identified, so we'll work on getting that into Utopic and then into the Trusty Compiz SRU after this one.

This breaks the user's workflow. [Test case] * Need a mouse with horizontal scrolling, ie, click the mouse wheel left and right. * Open CCSM. * Map a function to the horizontal scroll buttons, ie, buttons 6 & 7. For example: * Enable workspaces. * CCSM->Viewport Switcher->Desktop-based Viewport Switching * Set "Move Next" to Alt + button 6 and "Move Prev" to Alt + button 7. [Regression potential] None identified. Original Description: Since upgrading to 14.04, compiz Lower Window key binding as alt+button5 is no longer working completely. It used to nicely cycle through windows but now if a window surfaces that is scrollable, the 'lower window' command stops responding and the window content starts scrolling vertically even though the alt key is still pressed. Clicking the window and then triggering 'lower window' again causes it to temporarily start working again until another scrollable window surfaces. This is configured under ccsm General Options->Key Bindings->Lower Window. It worked previously in 13.10. I have since tried unity-reset and reverting all compiz settings. Other settings: Click To Focus: off Raise On Click: on Auto-Raise: off Focus Prevention Level: Low I tested a different plugin "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation" with the same key binding <Alt>Button5 and it does not demonstrate the same behavior; I can tune any window opacity whether the window is scrollable or not. Setting the alternative Lower Window keyboard binding <Control>Down works without the same interference.
