    Unity and Compiz don't seem to mix well

    I feel these pictures illustrate an issue that should to be addressed:









    What appears to be happening is that when I try to switch desktops it will select the window I have open and try to move it at the same time. As you can see from the images, as soon as I select a viewpoint, compiz's wobbly windows stay in their warped positions while the application is still completely operational. It's quite funny actually, but is also a problem. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity and Compiz's wobbly windows enabled. I should note that my Unity Panel on the left side of the screen often freezes and will not auto-hide as I have set it to do, which is an unrelated issue, I believe.

    I guess I'm wondering if this is some sort of bug that should be posted and where to post it, whether this is a Unity or Compiz issue.

    Ya heck, that's an advanced feature

    Have you looked at what this shows?

    Code:
    /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
    You should see something like this.

    Wow, well so much for that. I don't begin to know how to describe this but I suggest you try some searches in this to see if it is an already reported bug. This searches only ubuntu related sites.

    If you turn off wobbly windows, does it go away? Just asking, not offering that as a solution.

    Yes, it does in fact go away when wobbly windows is not enabled. Frankly, I find this to be more funny of a bug than annoying. Hehe. I'll try to see if this bug has been reported, thanks.
