I don't really think this should be set invalid, as it is indeed a real bug in the version for which it is reported.
However, the problem was seemingly fixed long time ago (under 12.10 or 13.04) and is therefore not affecting many users anymore.

Also, I do realise that there might not be any other status with a good
fit.

Title:
  Compiz hangs at first click anywhere on desktop - can work around by
  deleting .compiz/session/* first.

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, I found that once logged in, I
  can move the mouse around and items highlight as I mouseover them, as
  well as the launcher seeming to respond appropriately too. Upon first
  click, however (whether it be on the launcher, taskbar, or even a
  right-click on the desktop) compiz or unity (inextricably linked now?)
  hangs. The mouse pointer can be moved about freely, but otherwise no
  further action is possible.

  It occured to me that perhaps the issue was related to some sort of
  configuration issue - maybe leftover bits from 12.04 confusing 12.10.
  I tried the guest login, and everything worked flawlessly, possibly
  confirming my suspicion.

  My next step was to delete .compiz/session from my home directory.
  Upon reboot, everything worked fine again. Problem solved? Apparently
  not - upon next boot, it hangs again as before. I also find that
  .compiz/session has been re-created. Deleting it via a terminal
  session then allowed me to reboot to a working desktop, but only once
  unless I first delete the contents of .compiz/session

  Workaround: As a workaround, I've added a line to /etc/rc.local to delete the contents of .compiz/session at boot time:
       rm /home/my_username/.compiz/session/*
