Bug description:
If Firefox is running when Desktop Effects are enabled on my Dell
Inspiron 6000 or my HP zd7000, Firefox becomes an unresponsive window
with no window decorations. It's not possible to maximize, move it,
or otherwise interact with it. Disabling Desktop Effects restores
sanity.
I retest desktop-effects every couple weeks, and this problem
persists. Since firefox is probably the single most important
application used by most users, this problem pretty much guarantees no
casual user will use Desktop Effects.
**Steps to reproduce :
1. Open a single instance of Firefox with no tabs open.
2. Go to http://www.htmlgoodies.com/legacy/beyond/javascript/bigsmall.html
3. Click the "Maximize" link located at the top left of this webpage.
4. Close Firefox.
5. Re-open Firefox.
6. Now the titlebar for Firefox and upper/lower panels should be missing.
Or
1. Use the bigger resolution that your computer can take and open Firefox.
2. If not already done, demaximize the Firefox window (right clic /
Demaximize).
3. Close Firefox
4. Change the screen resolution for a very lower one.
5. Open Firefox
**WORKAROUNDS : more permanent
1. Install compizconfig-settings-manager
2. start ccsm
3. click on "Workarounds" plugin in the "Utility" section
4. uncheck "Legacy Fullscreen Support".
or
1. F11 twice
2. resize the windows with the mouse. Once you've set them to the right size
for you then go to
3. Edit - Preferences - Content - Enable JavaScript Advanced ...
4. UNtick the top (?) option which is "Move or resize window". This should
prevent javascript from being able to resize your window inconviently
thanks to <Tom>
**WORKAROUNDS : temporary
Hit F11 twice
