This problem has been around for some time, certainly pre 6.6
It impacts firefox, thunderbird and gedit most noticeably on my system - 
also these are the three windows I use most regularly.
Not wanting to loose the features of compiz I have not yet tried 
disabling this, but have just now .... we'll see if this improves the 
situation.
