** Description changed:

  Was working with a LibreOffice document and all of a sudden, window
  looked to be minimizing on it's own. However, it is not located on any
  of the three virtual desks, but is still running as a process. I can
- continue opening and closing new LO windows.
+ continue opening and closing new LO windows. Alt+Tab no longer shows the
+ now "hidden" LO document.
  
  Also, this is not reproducible in gnome-session-flashback (Metacity) so
- this is a compiz driven issue.
+ this is correlated to using compiz.
  
  After restarting the application, it happened again, but this time I could go to another virtual disk and click on it, which would cause it to move to another virtual desk. Secondary clicking the window showed it was both minimized and maximized simultaneously, as it noted:
  Unmaximize
  Unminimize
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: If I open a blank document and click "Exit LibreOffice" it
+ offers to save the hidden document.
