["Jason D." <1314587@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Still affecting me pretty severely, I have all software updates.

I'm using a Nvida Optimus card as well. Occurs with both Nouveau and
Nvidia drivers, as reported. I'm using the Intel card with the Nvidia
drivers.

Minimize freezes the system about 90% of the time. I have to drop to
shell and reboot to get usable system back. Launching Dash freezes the
system occasionally as well. As long as I only task switch and show
desktop, I'm mostly okay, but it's very irritating. I also disabled all
the animations with CompizConfig Settings, but it didn't help much.

Title:
  Windows slow/stall/freeze when minimizing/restoring/etc in Unity 7
  14.04

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

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

   * Minimize current window or alt-tab between windows
   * Reveal launcher to click on application
   * Click `Super` to bring up Dash
   * Hold `Super` to bring up Keyboard Shortcuts

  What should happen:

  Action completes smoothly and quickly.

  What happens instead:

   * Action may be slow / animation jerky.
   * Action may stall (animation frozen on given frame, e.g. window partially minimized) - initiating another action cancels first action and second action may succeed (most often calling Guake with F12 seems to solve the issue)
   * Action may freeze - cursor no longer moves - a soft reboot (Alt+PrtScr+REISUB) usually works, otherwise a hard reboot

  Notes:

   * Not application specific. Minimizing is reliably slow/stalls with minimizing Firefox (including 29, I do not have a lot of bookmarks) or Pidgin, but I use those programs more often.
   * I am using an Nvidia Optimus machine with the default Nouveau driver - no `nvidia-prime`, no Bumblebee. I temporarily installed the latest stable Nvidia driver (including `nvidia-prime`) and it made no difference.
   * I did not experience this issue on the same machine running 13.10 (with Bumblebee).
   * I am running Maximus.
