I could fix the bug on Ubuntu 16.10 by following this tutorial:
https://www.computersnyou.com/4945/re-install-xorg-xserver-completely-
ubuntu/
Then, after reinstalling and rebooting, just click on "Restore Defaults"
under the "Window Spread" tab on Unity Tweak Tool.

shaon121's solution at @#36 is, apparently, temporary. Problem persists.
Rerunning shaon121's solution shows no warning of conflicting key
bindings, though trigger now functions again as expected (maybe due to
unity restart?).

@#36, thanks, that helped.
Had the same problem, compiz segfaulting in libscale, the conflicting shortcuts

Nope. I'm running 15.10., too, and just tried it out: Compiz is still
crashing. Crash file is attached.

I've had problems with window spread before, too, but only on a laptop
with Nvidia graphics. On another one with Intel graphics, it works
flawlessly.
Anyways, after upgrading to vivid, I tried to enable window spread using
unity-tweak-tool again, and I got that freeze plus (after a while) crash
thanks for the info :)

This seems to work for me. It asked me to activate scale.

everything.
here's the workaround:
1. Turn off window spread (no don't its awesome)

I am having this problem too. Thanks for the workaround Hendrik but I
would like to get the windows spread feature back (as soon as possible
when this bug is fixed).

A permanent workaround: Install unity-tweak-tool and disable window
spread feature. This will prevent Unity from showing open windows when
clicking on a launcher icon and preventing you from accidentially
crashing your desktop environment.

I just want to emphasize that this is a bug with Unity. I have not used
Unity Tweak Tool before this bug appeared. It started right after a
fresh install on my new desktop system. I do not see this bug on any of
my laptops.
I'd be happy to do anything necessary to solve this annoying bug.

I don't know why it was broken on a fresh install but this fixed the problem

Affects me; can be worked around by restarting the graphical manager.
On a laptop, putting the machine into hibernation by closing the lid
rectifies the situtation by (seemingly) restarting Unity, although it
will freeze again if window spread is used again.

The latest update disabled window spreading and when triggered crashes
the desktop. Everything freezes and windows cannot be switched. The only
way to close an application is to shut down.

It's odd that apport did not include a stacktrace with this. There's a
segfault in libscale.so reported in the dmesg log.
