Hi, when I use Firefox 2.0.0.11, Firefox 3 beta 2, or VLC player, I |
| 2 |
often get a small grey 1x12 window in the top left of my screen. No |
| 3 |
decorations or anything, just a 1x12 strip of grey against the corner. |
| 4 |
I can't move it, and it appears on top of all other windows in all |
| 5 |
workspaces. Firefox 2.0.0.7 did not exhibit this problem. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This problem comes up with both firefox and vlc, and I have seen it in |
| 8 |
the fluxbox, xfwm, and compiz window managers. In compiz it even |
| 9 |
blocks the corner mouse-sensing, which is a big practical problem. I'm |
| 10 |
not sure what is to blame, so I don't even know where to send the bug |
| 11 |
report. |

Gruesome details follow: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
In Firefox 3 beta 2, it happens when I navigate to certain sites |
| 16 |
(http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/WindowMatching for example). In Firefox |
| 17 |
2.0.11, it happens when going to other certain sites, such as my gmail |
| 18 |
inbox. They both have information similar to the following. |

In VLC Player, it starts when I start the player with the wx GUI. It |
| 68 |
even appears above the player when I switch to full-screen mode, which |
| 69 |
is really annoying O_O. |
