Paul BROWN, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product
/optiplex-gx280/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated
BIOS is available (A08). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Remnants of context menu remain on screen

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Not sure what we were doing at the time, possibly checking some
  bluetooth keyboards, when we noticed this problem. It was not
  "killable" with xkill. It seems there was some app open that has
  menus: Minimize, Maximize, Always On Top, Always on Visible Workspace,
  Only on This Workspace, Close. “Show menubar” can be seen beneath
  this.  Anyway, this app seems to have closed or something, and left
  bits of itself on the screen.  Unfortunately just not sure what was
  going on at that point.

  app.

  4) Traces of dead app left on the screen.
