[Bug 1293242] Re: compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in ScaleScreen::getWindows()

 

I encounter this problem on my desktop pc that has just been freshly
installed with Ubuntu 14.04 on a regular basis. No changes or tweaks to
Unity. The problem started right after install. I have two laptops
running Ubuntu with Unity not having this problem.

The crash is triggered when you open multiple windows of the same
application and click on the application icon in the launcher bar. The
first time I do this compiz can recover itself and I get a Apport
notification. If I accidentally trigger the bug a second time it
completely crashes, does not recover and launcher, window borders as
well as menubar are gone.

Using Alt+Tab to switch the window works without problems.

** Changed in: unity
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: amd64
