Not sure if this is by design, but when "shading" and "unshading" windows (by double-clicking the title bar), sometimes the bottom of the window rises up, sometimes the top of the window rolls down, and sometimes both happen so they meet in the middle. A particular problem occurs with windows whose bottom edge is below the bottom of the screen. Double-click the title bar, and sometimes the top of the window rolls down to where the bottom is: so the entire shaded window is now invisible and off screen. At this point, the window is also not represented in the task bar, but it can be recovered by using the switcher to bring the window to focus (still invisible) and then maximising it using a keyboard shortcut.
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Can't reproduce this in 2009 master. Please reopen at bugs.opencompositing.org if this isn't fixed for you in recent compiz versions.
