[Bug 815996] Re: Desktop occasionally freezes/locks up when switching workspaces

 

I have a problem with my system freezing, not sure what is causing it.

Like a minute ago, my mouse wouldn't click any links, but the mouse icon
would change to that of when mousing over a hyper-link, when my mouse
was such above the link. It appears to be focus problem, getting stuck
somewhere.

I'm not sure how to report it, because it's asking for an application and I don't know which application to put it under.
I got it to freeze when editing the keyboard shortcuts via Unity Control Centre, twice as a double check after the first time, to see if it was just a coincidence.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) x64

Bug description:
  I'm assuming the issue is related to Compiz, but I'm not 100% sure.
  When I'm switching workspaces, it occasionally locks up (becoming more
  frequent). Most of the time, I'm going from the current one down
  (Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow), and it freezes mid slide. Typically, I'm able
  to correct things by backing out to a terminal then returning
  (Ctrl+Alt+F1, pause, Alt+F7), but sometimes when I return the dual
  screen setup acts as one large screen (windows are stretched to the
  full width of both screens) and many of the windows collect on the
  first workspace.

  
  Ubuntu 11.04 (Classic)
  All packages up-to-date.

  If there are any logs/etc that would be helpful, let me know.
