[Bug 1516308] [NEW] Compiz uses 100% CPU when desktop is locked

 

Public bug reported:

Tested on three different machines upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 recently.
All of them are 32 bit systems, two of them are intel based integrated
GPU (on of them is notebook) with intel CPU, and one is AMD APU equipped
machine with the binary driver (so because of this, I don't think it's a
video driver related issue). The problem: I've noticed that after
locking the screen the fan of the notebook starts to produce a louder
noise, typical sign of high CPU usage. After logging in into the machine
via ssh from another one, I found that compiz uses 100% CPU, but after
unlock the CPU usage drops below 1%. Then I noticed the same with two
desktop machines, the same: 100% used CPU by compiz when locked. It's
really annoying since it didn't happen with the previous Ubuntu release,
and it creates significant noise by the fans, and of course - I guess -
using more energy than it should.
