Public bug reported: Window decorations buttons (close, minimize, maximize) consistently lack the subtle lightning effect when the mouse is over them. Other times the buttons are shown as disabled which is misleading since the buttons work perfectly fine. Maybe one time in a hundred I get a window exposing the correct behavior. It looks like it is totally random.
Since mutter/gnome-shell does not show the same issue (with the same Ambiance theme), I presume this issue is compiz/unity specific. I attached a screen recording session to better explain the issue.
