Public bug reported: Running the atom editor (www.atom.io) on ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-panel + compiz leads to compiz crash when pressing alt-tab to switch to a different window.
Reproduces every time. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center compiz: Installed: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 3) What you expected to happen I expected ctrl-tab to switch me to a different window. 4) What happened instead The environment freezes, despite mouse still moving. No application or item in the windowing system responds and ultimately compiz crashes (~5 seconds later), leading up to black screen followed by a default graphical login prompt. This bug is fully reproducible in my environment and I'm eager to help debug it. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - running atom and alt-tab causes compiz to crash + running atom and pressing alt-tab causes compiz to freeze and crash ** Summary changed: - running atom and pressing alt-tab causes compiz to freeze and crash + running the atom editor and pressing alt-tab causes compiz to freeze and crash ** Description changed: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center compiz: - Installed: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages - + Installed: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 + Candidate: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 + Version table: + *** 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 0 + 500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 3) What you expected to happen - I expected to switch to a different window when I pressed ctrl+tab. + I expected ctrl-tab to switch me to a different window. 4) What happened instead - The environment freezes, despite mouse still moves but no application or - item in the windowing system responds and ultimately compiz crashes, - leading up to black screen followed by a default login prompt. + The environment freezes, despite mouse still moving.
