Bug Description

Double clicking the window bar makes window content "crash" / disappear and it's almost impossible to restore the window aftewards. This is always reproducable on 14.04, tested on two different computers with both Ati and Nvidia cards with open drivers.

1) Open any app, terminal for example: http://i.imgur.com/NQ8ubk0.png
2) Double click the window decoration
3) Boom, the app is dead: http://i.imgur.com/ohCmk0S.png

The setting

Is set to shade the window, right?

It says 'toggle-shade', so yes I guess so.

I investigated this a bit - it looks like Unity tweak tool (which is completely necessary app with Unity due lack of proper options) sets every action in titlebar to toggle shader when you press 'Restore defaults', which is likely the reason why this happened to my installations.

Nonetheless, doesn't seem to be Unity bug, guess this should be assigned for the tweak tool devs.

summary: - Window content disappears when double clicking the title bar.
+ Window content disappears and can't be shown again when a window is
+ shaded
