1: When a windows is near the top or bottom menus, and has one side out side the screen, it's corners will start to wobble.
2: Tall windows will some times start to jump from the top menu to the bottom menu repetidly.
3: When a window is animating it's visual and clickable area are ofthen not in the same location.
4: Tall windows are hard to move from the bottom to the top or vis versa, as they stick to the othere end.
5: Sometimes windows will jump behind the top menu, leaving the user unable to use the functions found in the title bar of the program (minimise, close, maximize and move), not all users knows that this can also be done from the content menu for the program in the bottom menu.
All theas bugs are confirmed (by me) on 7.10, 8.04.1 and 8.10, on two different systems.
The solution to the most critical of thease issues is to only tell compiz about the desktop (screen - menus) space and not the screen space, this would avoice that the program jumps behind the menu, wobels and reduce the jumping and flickering of the windows in general.
