Bug 208079

Application that crashed: kwin
Version of the application: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1)
KDE Version: 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1)
Qt Version: 4.5.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.28-15-generic i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04

What I was doing when the application crashed:
KWin crashes when I switch (ALT-Tab) between two OpenOffice windows. One is a rather large document in which the search window is activated, the other is an ordinary small document. The crash only seems to be reproducible when the search window is open in the first document and even then the crash does not happen every time.
I use the CoverSwitch effect for window-switching which led me to believe this bug could be related to the other one.
