Bug Description

  After right-clicking the titlebar of a resizeable window and selecting "resize," pressing the up arrow key to attach the cursor to the top edge of the window, resizing the window, and clicking or hitting enter to deselect the top edge, dragging the bottom edge of the window with the cursor no longer resizes the window in the proper direction.
  Using the mouse to select the top edge or using the right-click, rezise, move method on the bottom edge still produce the right behavior. This happens in all applications that use resizable windows. I'm reproducing this bug with the default unity on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

I have attached a video demonstrating the bug.

I am having the same issue but it does the same thing even without using the keyboard to resize the window. Nothing I do seems to have an effect. And its always the right side of the window that is reversed, the other sides respond like normal.

Hi Kyle,

I have not seen any issues with resizing unless you use the keyboard first. Could you give me exact steps on how you can make this happen without using a keyboard?

Thanks!

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.12.1+15.04.20150330-0ubuntu1

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.12.1+15.04.20150330-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Change default behavior of focus-follows-mouse where the desktop
    will get focus when the mouse is over it. Also add option to allow
    old behavior. (LP: #1427636)
  * Clear out the lastMask vars when using the mouse to resize. (LP:
    #1348254)

  [ Eleni Maria Stea ]
  * Minor optimisation fix: Replaced glLoadIdentity, glMultMatrixf with
    glLoadMatrixf to avoid the unnecessary matrix multiplication:
    identity * some projection matrix

  [ Kevin Lange ]
  * WinRules plugin: boost arbitrary window size limits to something
    more reasonable (LP: #1431923)

  [ Stephen M. Webb ]
  * animations plugin: fixed a potential null pointer dereference (LP:
    #1101573)

I'm also experiencing the same bug on Linux Mint 17.2 that Kyle C. reported above. It seems to mostly (if not only) affect the right edge of the window and there does appear to be a connection with using the system menu resize just like Kyle noted. Maybe I'll just stop using the keyboard shortcut (Alt-Space + R) for a while and see if the problem stops.
