Hello.
I can confirm this bug, although i didn't know what it was as i am used to work
with maximised or semi-maximised windows and as such use super+d a lot.
If i were to describe it, that would be something like "resize cursor appears
at random places on desktop. 14.04 x86_64

Title:
you can accidentally resize windows when they are not even visible
while in "show desktop" mode
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This is unbelievable.
Steps to reproduce:
1. make sure you have a few windows open and not maximized
2. hit ctrl+super+D to hide all windows and show the desktop
3. move the mouse around slowly, especially around where you remember some
windows' edges were when the windows were visible
Expected: nothing: the mouse cursor should remain the default one and
any mouse action should always interact with the desktop and its icons
Observed: the mouse cursor behaves as if the hidden windows were
there. You suddenly see the mouse cursor change to the "window-
resizing" cursor, and if you then click and drag, you will actually
resize the windows that you are not seing. When you then hit
Ctrl+Super+D again and the windows show up back, you'll see what
you've done to them.
Not to mention this often prevents you from properly interacting with
the icons on the desktop.รง
One more screwed-upness of the poorly designed and worse implemented
"show/hide desktop" feature in Ubuntu.
