Using the current behavior leads to windows flying all over the place,
invisible windows, windows stuck outside of the viewport, etc. I can't
see how anyone can use this in its' current state.

Things were changed for this new behavior, braking the previous behavior
for everyone who used it (it is impossible to show all the windows from
all the desktops). I can't understand how hacking this instead of fixing
the expected behavior is better.

I remember compiz 0.8 was great to use, fast, I don't remember all this
windows drawing artifacts and lag. Maybe I have a bad memory, and the
rewrite was for the better. I have been always against the "I'm moving
to distro X" naysayers, but I'm reaching my limit, and am tired of being
unable to work because of critical regressions that change the behavior
of the desktop all the time, and linger to be fixed, which is even worse
when there are public patches that lots of people have been using for
ages without known issues.

I fear for the transition to Wayland... :-(

I know, I know, this isn't a forum, and this doesn't help, and whatever,
but I've been happily using Ubuntu for so long, that coming to this is
making me very frustrated and sad, and I believe the more than 200
people reporting having this bug for so long are too.
