Public bug reported:

If you run Thunderbird in maximized mode and then minimize it, compiz
seems to lose track of windows that were underneath. It exhibits drawing
glitches and you can't select the window with the mouse, even with the
scroll key, unless you use the unity launcher. Sometimes you can't
redisplay Thunderbird with the unity launcher unless you first select
another window, eg firefox.

This happens both in my main laptop and in VMs and is quite
reproducible.

For instance, in the attached screenshot, I had Synaptic (non-maximized)
running over Firefox (maximized) and then I displayed Thunderbird in
maximized mode and hit the minimize button. Thunderbird minimized
correctly, but the Synaptic and Firefox windows were not responsive to
the mouse, and you can see a line of graphics corruption running across
from the software centre launcher icon.

If Thunderbird is not in maximized mode, this doesn't happen.
