Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open any of these applications: gedit, terminal, filezilla, gimp, nautilus
2. Make sure its window has focus
3. Move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen

Expected:
All of the abovementioned applications have a main menu that usually would appear in the bar at the top of the screen when you move the cursor there.

Observed:
Since today, the menu is fucking gone. The name of the application, or title of the window (e.g. "Files" for nautilus), or nothing at all, shows up instead.

This makes ALL THESE APPLICATIONS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE, as you can't
access their main menu which most of them don't have anywhere else.

This is a fucking critical issue that has practically bricked my
computer, as I can now only use a handful of applications that for some
reason are not affected, like Google Chrome, TortoiseHG and a few more.


It seems extremely unlikely that all these unrelated programs suddenly
have this new bizarre bug, so it must be of some system component. Not
sure it's really compiz, I have no idea, whether it's compiz, Unity,
Xorg or something else.


It is URGENT that an update fixing this disaster is released immediately.
