  Since that one was already closed and I can't change the status of it, I report this problem here.

  compiz: 0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1
  unity: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1

  If disabling "Show live previews of windows in switcher" in ccsm
  (Unity Plugin --> Swither), minimize a window (let's say firefox or
  gedit), remaximize it. Then if I want to click somewhere or select
  text in the window, I have to put the mouse pointer one line above and
  several charactors left (compared to the real position I want) to do
  it.

  However, if enabling "Show live previews of windows in switcher" ,
  then you cannot use the hot corner to "Show Desktop" (ccsm-->General
  Options-->Key bindings-->Show Desktop). Set it to BottomLeft (any
  corner that's not conflict with other key bindings), with "Show live
  previews of windows in switcher" enabled, you can just use the hot
  corner to show desktop for once. Then if you check the Show Desktop
  setting in ccsm, it will be blank (not None but blank, nothing there).
  You can't use the showdesktop hot corner any more.

  This problem started from 13.10 and continues now in 14.04...
