@dinky Based on your initial post I believe you are affected by two bugs, one concerning maximization of windows (now fixed) and the other one concerning general Unity sluggishness and instability which should be filed as a separate bug.
Please also check bug 621690 as perhaps this is what's causing it. -- Maximised windows are automatically closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/637108 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
