[Bug 1158267] Re: Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized windows

The problem I and others highlighted regarding the reduction in height
of windows is becoming a little problematic as it often means I cannot
even click on standard buttons at the bottom of windows (as they've
effectively become hidden), particularly where I am unable to resize
windows to in an attempt to make them visible.

Could someone please inform me on how to correctly remove the ppa (via
terminal commands) and revert back to the stock ubuntu packages for
compiz etc.

It's not that I'm not willing to test things...I just need to know how
to go back to previous settings when things don't work out as hoped!

Thanks in advance and also for the effort put into fixing this problem
in general.

Regards,
Christopher
(Xubuntu 13.04 + compiz as wm)

Title:
  Regression: Broken (click-through) window decoration on some maximized
  windows

Status in Compiz:
  Confirmed
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an issue with compiz (compiled yesterday  from launchpad, so
  0.9.9.0) on my notebook with openSUSE 12.3 and KDE 4.10.

  The window decorations break on maximized windows. I can not click any button. Instead the click goes trough to the desktop.
  The windowborder is also broken.
  On the right side of the screen I can see a thin line of my desktop. A screenshot is attached.

  Funny: This is not only happening to mozilla windows but to some
  others as well: Dolphin and Filezilla for example.

  The konsole, however can be maximized without a problem!

  I've started the kde4-window-decorator from console. Here is it's
  output:

  First: About 30 times this:
  +++++++++++++++++
  QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
  QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted
  +++++++++++++++++

  Window decorations are working and intact. Then: when I open Firefox maximized:
  +++++++++++++++++
  X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
    Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
    Resource id:  0x2000142
  +++++++++++++++++

  The resource id changes from time to time.

  Here are some hardware specs:

  Athlon Dualcore QL 64 bit
  Nvidia GeForce 8200M G (with nvidia drivers 310.40)

  OpenSUSE 12.3 with latest updates.
  Qt: 4.8.4
  KDE: 4.10.00 "release 1"

  The rest of compiz is working great, by the way. A crash here and
  there when activating many plugins but I could configure everything
  quite nicely.

  Thank you guys - for this wonderful project.
  I hope we can find the reason for this issue.
