[Bug 1506969] [NEW] Window dimming effect stays after window has gone

 

Public bug reported:

I have recently noticed that on Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 with GNOME 3.16 that
sometimes if a window pops-up from a program and I go into the
Activities Overview, that then if that window closes the dimming effect
that it had on the main window behind it stays no matter what you do,
unless you manage to open a new pop-up window such as a new dialog box
and then close it, that seems to remove the dimming, but otherwise a
restart of the application is required. I have noticed this issue with
Firefox and VirtualBox, but I am sure that it is not application-
specific and has something to do with the window management or
something.
