Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Since update xserver-xorg-video-ati (1:6.13.1-1ubuntu3) every time i use mutter X crashes and i'm booted out of my sessions to the gdm.

Consistently reproducible, All i need to do is:
1 - start mutter with $mutter --replace
2 - Try to focus on a different window from the terminal

And X crashes

Attaching the gdb too

Actually it seems xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu3 is at fault.
When i downgraded to 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu2 there is no problem of mutter crashing. but downgrading to 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu3 does not help.

Also to note is that with xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu3 and ...ubuntu4 , if i run mutter with $ CLUTTER_VBLANK=none mutter --replace
then i dont have X crashes.
