Hello Sam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted compiz-plugins-main into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hey Sam, could you describe a way to observe this issue ?

I have the Snap plugin enable ( I use actually the wobbling window plugin ) and I can not see any frozen.

I'm on the proposed repository

If it is that kind of behaviour (video attached) that you are targetting, yes it happened to me yesterday with the new compiz. I am not able to reproduce it today. I will try again to find how to reproduce.
