[Bug 1472622] [NEW] Unity doesn't update or freezes contents within application window

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

When switching between different application windows there is a chance that the contents of a window just freeze. For me this happens with Firefox quite often, and extremely often when using QtCreator. Once such a window is frozen, scrolling or keyboard input seems to work, but you won't see any effect because the window contents are not updated anymore.
You can "re-animate" such a frozen window again by just resizing it a bit, but it will get stuck again some time later after switching between windows.

This bug doesn't happen with openbox or gnome as window manager /
compositor.
