Im experiencing this as well, and it used to be only unity (compiz) that had this issue so I had switched to gnome shell and that fixed it for me, but recently on 14.04 ubuntu gnome it is starting to have the same issue as compiz.

It works in fluxbox and gnome3 without problems so i suspect this is compiz/nvidia related bug . I had this bug also in 12.04 after upgrade to nvidia 304.xx driver from stock 295.xx . Also tried upgrade to beta driver 310.14 but still the same issue . Additional info : minecraft is written in java, fresh installed 12.10 without any ccsm tweaks .
