Bug Description

I reported this to the mechanig tracker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-tweak-tool/+bug/1097967

But it seems like this is an Compiz bug, since it also happens, if I set the Animation to Random via:
gsettings set org.compiz.animation:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/animation/ unminimize-effects "['animation:Random']"
gsettings set org.compiz.animation:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/animation/ minimize-effects "['animation:Random']"

I minimized and unminimized a window with every animation at least 5 times, but it never crashed.
Only on the Random setting it crashes. Sometimes after the 3-4, or sometimes on the first try.

The crash seems to happen when the random animation chosen is "dodge" that's only supposed to be used as focus animation.

Dodge animation is occasionally chosen as it's initialized with AnimEffectUsedFor::none() which incorrectly marks the dodge animation to be used with all events.

The same problem is likely to be the cause of bug 1048840.
