[Bug 1274438] Re: compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in unity::switcher::Controller::Impl::GetCurrentSelection()

 

Hi,

I'm able to reproduce this crash by using "Shaded windows" (that don't
work properly on Trusty anyway. See:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1322808), with the
following instructions:

1. Log into a fresh new user, running Unity
2. Press Windows key, start unity-tweak-tool
3. Select Window Manager/Additional settings
4. Set Title Bar Actions/Double Click to "Toggle Shade"
5. Start a terminal
6. In the terminal, 'pgrep compiz' to get the current PID
7. Double click on titlebar to shade it; window will become "ghosted"
8. Press Alt-Tab to switch windows; keep holding down Alt and press Tab until the terminal window is selected
9. Release Alt.
10. Compiz crashes and takes a while to restart. Repeat 'pgrep compiz' to see new PID for compiz
