I have experienced similar symptoms with the Awesome bar in Firefox while running Compiz. I have never observed the issue when running Metacity. I could not reproduce the bug on first try using show desktop to try to trigger it. I have show desktop enabled but have not been using its functionality lately (due to a different bug: it misplaces windows a few desktops over sometimes).
I will disable the plugin and post if I can still reproduce this bug. I would guess it's a z-order bug, since the Awesomebar with correct suggestions suddenly appears and works normally again if Firefox loses focus and has it restored (eg, alt-tab or clicking another titlebar and then clicking Firefox's titlebar). -- Show Desktop disables Firefox URL autocompletion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390279 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
