Public bug reported:
When running 2 instances of firefox OR 2 instances of thunderbird and I
go to the launcher to switch to one of the instances unity shows the 2
instances of the program in the main display area and then freezes the
main window. No screen refreshes are performed in that area afterwords.
I can go to the applications or switch between applications but the
screen no longer refreshes. The notification area refreshes and the
launcher area refreshes but the main window no longer refreshes.
Performing an alt tab to switch between applications displays the icons
to switch between but once a program is selected it does not redraw the
window for the program. The launcher area updates the program icon to
indicate which application is running.
killing running programs from the launcher does not seem to help either.
The problem is easily reproducible. I have been running unity since it
was first introduced in a LTS version on the same hardware and update my
system when a new LTS is released. This problem started occurring after
I installed 14.04 LTS. The problem only happens with firefox or
thunderbird but after the problem occurs killing those applications does
not fix the unity window issue.
