[Bug 709461] [NEW] semi-random invisible window with x geometry on top layer possible, one viewport only

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: unity

On 2 separate machines  w/ updated as of 1/28 -

On rare occasions a window will open in the top left corner with top deco buried.  The most likely for this to happen is a utility window like  update manager.
After pulling back down into the desktop (Alt+click) it may or may not show some graphical distortion (window split in 2 parts), if so it returns to normal if opening any other window.

What does appear to happen is an invisible window is created in the
area where it was pulled down to, this only happens on the current
workspace, any others are unaffected

Attached xwininfo - first shows on affected workspace, 2nd when
switching to another and clicking in same spot

Note that this does not always happen, I'm thinking the 'buried' window
may need to show some distorttion, not sure yet
