Public bug reported:

This is unbelievable.

Steps to reproduce:

1. make sure you have a few windows open and not maximized
2. hit ctrl+super+D to hide all windows and show the desktop
3. move the mouse around slowly, especially around where you remember some windows' edges were when the windows were visible

Expected: nothing: the mouse cursor should remain the default one and
any mouse action should always interact with the desktop and its icons

Observed: the mouse cursor behaves as if the hidden windows were there.
You suddenly see the mouse cursor change to the "window-resizing"
cursor, and if you then click and drag, you will actually resize the
windows that you are not seing. When you then hit Ctrl+Super+D again and
the windows show up back, you'll see what you've done to them.

Not to mention this often prevents you from properly interacting with
the icons on the desktop.ç

One more screwed-upness of the poorly designed and worse implemented
"show/hide desktop" feature in Ubuntu.
