Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. The compiz program
that we currently use in Ubuntu is a C++ re-write of the original compiz
and was announced the 4th July 2010. Therefore, the bugs that were
reported before that date, will be marked as "Won't Fix" as they
probably exist in the original program which is not stored in launchpad.
All the supported Ubuntu releases use the C++ version of compiz since
April 2015.

** Changed in: compiz

** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
  scale plugin launches with only one window

Status in Compiz:
  Won't Fix
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz-plugins

  If only one main window is open the compiz scale plugin is confusing
  (and unneccessary). With a single window open and maximised the plugin
  shrinks the window slightly and grays out (inactivates) the taskbars
  (see screenshot). I noticed this behaviour in jaunty, and possibly
  before. Mostly I thought it was annoying. However, a friend of mine
  was using my computer and, not knowing about scale, thought that the
  taskbars had crashed and didn't understand what was happening.

  Since the purpose of the scale plugin is to enable choosing/viewing
  multiple windows it is completely useless when only one window is
  showing. I think it would be better if the plugin wasn't launched when
  only one window is open.
