Meaning that I can not click anything on that 1px vertical area (such as scrollbars).

illustration of the problem

I am thinking Compiz has to be the main suspect, especially as on a guest account, this problem does not exist.

I have a dual-monitor setup and this does not happen on the 2nd screen. However, turning off the 2nd display does not make any difference.
I had this issue already before upgrading to 13.10 and while doing that, I also resetted all Compiz settings and re-loaded my profile configuration file.
I have tried disabling all Compiz plugins under "Window Management"

What next?
