I too have had this problem. >From memory, I think it was the fault of Compiz. If you are running Compiz, try running Metacity and see if the problem goes away.
A very handy method of switching quickly is to use the package fusion- icon (which I run on startup). I use this mainly when I use googleearth as it doesn't seem to like Compiz. Let me know how you get on. ** Also affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- can't resize firefox window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303798 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
