Bug#586590: compiz: crash to metacity when tooltip is larger than width of screen

["Nathan A. Stine" <nathan.stine@gmail.com>]

Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.4-4
Severity: normal

When looking through old chat logs in pidgin, I found that compiz will crash if
mousing over a very large link.  When mousing over, a tooltip appears which is
wider than my screen resolution.  At this point compiz crashes and falls back
to metacity.

I was hoping to provide a backtrace, but after the crash gdb tells me that
compiz is starting metacity and shows no segfault or other useful data.

My screen resolution is 1920x1200, and I'm using Intel 945G graphics.

Please let me know anything else I can do to assist.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine
