[Bug 806636] Re: [Oneiric] Compiz fails to update window title until focused window is changed unless window is maximized

 

This problem also existed in Natty, but only when using the proprietary
FGLX driver and a theme other than Radiance or Ambiance.  It's as if the
window decorations of unmaximized windows are 'frozen', unchanging
unless forced to with a window resize.

When using the Radiance or Ambiance theme, the window decorations would
update fine, unless the window was not in focus, in which case mouse-
overing the window controls would not highlight them and the window
title would not change until the window was again in focus.

The problem existed for Natty in both compiz-decorator and gtk-window-
decorator, but not metacity when using the classic desktop. In addition,
this problem was solved for me by downgrading to a pre-Unity compiz
version, leading me to believe the problem is somewhere inside compiz
itself.

Now, the problem isn't just in the proprietary driver and even occurs
when using the default opensource one present in Oneiric. Has that
driver changed at all or has Compiz changed in the way it interacts with
it? Could this be a kernel or xorg issue?

It's a major issue for most people using ATI graphics for the window
decorations not to work as expected.
