Please use above PPA for testing - metacity is updated to current upstream version. Missing window or windows? It looks like you have this bug quite often - is it really random or maybe it happens when you do something specific - open certain application as example? -- 1. Enable org.gtk.settings.debug enable-inspector-keybinding 2. When you have this bug. Right click on desktop (to make sure it has focus) and hit Control-Shift-I. 3. Click on 'Show all Objects' icon, select NautilusDesktopWindow, then click on 'Show Details' icon. 4. Select properties and then change 'visible' property from TRUE to FALSE. 5. Do you see your windows or they are still hidden? -- Do you have enabled this: org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop-background If it is enabled then disable (it should be disabled by default in ubuntu). Does that changes something in case if it was enabled? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1538111 Title: untraceable serious bug in metacity 3.18 Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS uses 3.18 version of gnome metacity. When doing lots of mess work in Desktop (such as open desktop window, sudo window, dragging window, and so on), "!! WHEN CLICKING CLOSE BUTTON OF A CERTAIN WINDOW !!", there is "small possibility" for metacity to get out of work --> Many windows are disappeared, with only nautilus desktop background and gnome-panel on screen. "Live Window List" still exists in gnome-panel, but no matter doing what (such as open new application from gnome-menu or use Alt+Tab to switch window), none of live windows can be displayed. So the only way is to switch to tty1 using Ctrl+Alt+F1, and executing "DISPLAY=:0 metacity -c --replace", then all windows came back. Till now, I meet this bug every day, but still not sure how to reproduce it bug. I think you should trace what the metacity do when clicking "close button" that makes all windows to be disappeared. Thanks.
