Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

My problem is hard to clearly explain, I am sorry if it does not reach
the right package in LP or so. Since upgraded to Maverick (I have two
different machines as examples, both of them are 32bit x86). I've
noticed it first with chromium browser, please check my bug report out:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=60919

In nutshell: if I "drag" an image (or a selected text for example) with
the mouse and I release it, it remains on the screen "above" every
content, even if I switch another workspace/window or play full screen
video, as I would have some kind of monitor OSD or so. I have a
screenshot attached to the bugreport on chromium I've mentioned above.

The reason that I did the bug report here too: in that ticket I was told
that the reason can be "the maverick" and not chromium itself. And it
looks true: while the problem 100% reproducable in chromium, I could
notice similar bugs with other applications well, though maybe not so
often (it can be the usage pattern: it's quite frequent that I click on
something while move the mouse and it causes that "drag anomaly" in
chromium, while it can be trickier in other apps to trigger this problem
maybe?), for example using geany to code in PHP and Python causes
sometimes to have "remainment" of the "wire" of a dialog can be seen all
the time and only exiting from geany can help, the same way as with
chromium.

Hopefully my bugreport is useable somehow ... Thanks!
