Title:
  Unity/compiz stuck in resize mode

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a dual-screen desktop and drag most windows to be half-screen wide.  I dragged the edge of one of them, I think my Firefox browser; around the same time I was also repositioning Chromium. My screen got stuck in resize mode. By this I mean:
  1) The resize overlay is permanently drawn on the screen,
  2) If I move the mouse to the edge of any window the resize cursor appears, but I cannot resize the window. Nor can I resize any window using the window menu's Resize command. Dragging a window to a screen edge to make it half-size still works.
  3) I cannot bring up the window menu for Firefox by pressing Alt+Space. I can bring it up by right-clicking on the Firefox title bar, but same as other windows the Resize command does nothing.

  I can't get out of this mode!
  You can see from the screenshot that the resize overlay is partways away from the edge. My recollection is the window was on the screen edge. So maybe Unity/compiz got confused between moving and resizing.
