** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
  If the display resolution is set to something smaller than the size of
  an existing window, the window disappears from screen and window list,
  although it is still running.
  
  Example:
  - Open firefox and set window size to something greater than 1440x900
  - Switch resolution to 1440x900
  - the firefox window disappears
  
  If I then run "firefox about:blank" the window appears in the window
  list, but not on my screen. If I click it, the window partially appears
  in the upper left corner of my desktop (see attached screenshot), from
- where I can drag it down via alt-leftclick.
+ where I can drag it down via alt-leftclick. The window then contains the
+ original tabs and about:blank as an additional one.
  
  Metacity does not show this behaviour. Metacity resizes the window to the maximum size that is possible with the current resolution. If the resolution is changed back to the original, larger one, metacity restores the original window size.
  Changing the resolution back to the original one when compiz was running had no effect.
