[Bug 1457384] Re: fully transparent windows

 

Xtien, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As
per
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/HelpDesk_Download/
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(2201). 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:
  fully transparent windows

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Every now and then, a window is fully transparent. I see the border,
  but nothing else,  see what should be behind the window. This happens
  in Thunderbird, Eclipse, and most other programs and popups.
