Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I have this problem since several releases, and this is the major reason
I always switch off from compiz. I often use fullscreen windows, and 8
workspaces with heavy switching between them, Sometime (I can't tell the
exact reason but it does not happen always) when I switch back a
workspace with a fullscreen window, panels can be seen over my
fullscreen window, so I have to use ALT-TAB which fixes the problem. It
is quite annoying for me, since usually I have terminals in fullscreen
and I just change between them (by workapce changes configured with kbd
hotkeys) for second to check things, so often the need to use ALT-TAB to
fix the problem heavily affects my experience with compiz. Now it's a
freshly installed ubuntu 10.10 32 bit, but I had this problem since
several releases (though then were other bugs too for me with compiz so
it was not the only problem worth to look after it more seriously).
Thanks.
