Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
The other day, I had firefox running and my home directory is mounted on
a md raid drive. That day the md drives were syncing and the file read
time was incredibly long. I happened to be right clicking on firefox
when firefox stopped responding. Compiz made it turn gray, but after it
did that, I couldn't click on anything again. The menu that firefox
poped up was not gray only firefox was gray. The display hadnt' crashed
or anything else. The applications in the background were running
smooth. Then after a minute, firefox came back and everything was back
to normal until the next time firefox had to access files from the HD. I
believe it happened with the right click menu and the toolbar menu on
top.
I think compiz is waiting for the program to accept the closure of the
menu, but the program is not responding. The menu has a special
functionality that when it is open, all of the clicks outside of it are
only to close the menu and cant be used for anything else. Thus in this
wait the user cannot interact with her desktop at all. I was lucky
enough that firefox had not actually crashed. I am not sure what would
have happened if it actually did. (I was planning on logging into my
computer from my laptop to kill firefox, but it came back before I had
the chance.)

Compiz "locks up" when one of the applications menu is open and the application
crashes.
