Ubuntu 14.04 x86, 2gb ram, 1.4ghz intel celeron, fujitsu amilo li2727 laptop ( its old but lovable :p )
For anybody suffering with this I just hit it yet again and recovered from it without needing to do any of the crash or kill techniques described above. i was trying the ctrl+alt+[arrow keys] and it just switched the work space but i couldnt do anything with the program i was moving that stick across work spaces not close the switcher. so i thought. ctrl+alt+L is what worked for me, managed to close the switcher properly and then just resized the program window and finished moving it to the work space. I would say this bug should be fixed by now. but in the mean time, i hope that helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to compiz-plugins-main in Ubuntu.

When I'm switching workspaces, it occasionally locks up (becoming more frequent). Most of the time, I'm going from the current one down (Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow), and it freezes mid slide. Typically, I'm able to correct things by backing out to a terminal then returning (Ctrl+Alt+F1, pause, Alt+F7), but sometimes when I return the dual screen setup acts as one large screen (windows are stretched to the full width of both screens) and many of the windows collect on the first workspace.
