Interesting. I've been noticing this with any old window in general (I don't use the widgets layer, I hardly know what it is). Any time I hide and then show a window, it climbs up the screen by one title bar height, until it hits the top. Then it stops. By hide/show, I mean make the window completely disappear using some sort of toggling built into the app, not just minimize/restore. This upward movement happens in compiz, but not in metacity. This was especially annoying me in audacious (see bug report at http://jira.atheme.org/browse/AUDPLUG-301). As mentioned in the above comments, I've also discovered that if I disable audacious's title bar by switching it to the classic winamp GUI mode, the upward movement disappears. I've confirmed the same problem in my own custom qt app.
I'm running amd64 maverick, which was upgraded from lucid. I suspect this problem began after upgrading to maverick. I'm using the latest nvidia binary driver from the repos. I have my panel at the bottom of the screen. I can't replicate this problem on other maverick machines running compiz. I suspect I have some strange setting somewhere that might be causing this problem, and I bet it's related to everyone's problem here regarding the widgets layer. In other words, this may not be so much a bug as a misconfiguration. I've tried disabling the "Place windows" plugin in CCSM, with no luck (it always automatically re-enables itself). For audacious, I now simply force it to always be at the bottom right, but that's not a solution. Any ideas where this misconfiguration might be occurring? Is there an easy way to reset all compiz setting, like perhaps deleting some config file or folder, or completely reinstalling all compiz packages? Also, bug #574856 and bug #631664 seem related. -- Windows on widget layer move up screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
