[Bug 1615304] Re: running the atom editor and pressing alt-tab causes compiz to freeze and crash

 

The same sort of behaviour has been experienced, although not as easily
reproducible, when using firefox with multiple open windows spread
across different workspaces.

** Description changed:

+ Running the atom editor (www.atom.io) on ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-panel +
+ compiz leads to compiz crash when pressing alt-tab to switch to a
+ different window.
+ 
+ 
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
  -> About Ubuntu
  
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
  Release:	14.04
  
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  compiz:
  
    Installed: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20160425-0ubuntu1 0
          500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 0

  3) What you expected to happen
  
  I expected ctrl-tab to switch me to a different window.
  
  4) What happened instead
  
  The environment freezes, despite mouse still moving. No application or
  item in the windowing system responds and ultimately compiz crashes (~5
  seconds later), leading up to black screen followed by a default
  graphical login prompt.
  
  This bug is fully reproducible in my environment and I'm eager to help
  debug it.
