Hmm, something similar happens here sometimes. But not as severe. It |
| 13 |
usually happens when I close many windows rapidly in succession, but |
| 14 |
it's not permanent. The panel becomes responsive again after 10 seconds |
| 15 |
or so. I'm also on latest nvidia-drivers, but it was happening with |
| 16 |
older versions too. I happened very rarely though, so it didn't bother |
| 17 |
me enough to go investigating. |

Here's something to try out: when it happens, hit the shortcut on your |
| 20 |
keyboard that temporarily suspends desktop effects. I don't remember |
| 21 |
what the default shortcut for it is, as I've changed it, but it's shown |
| 22 |
and configured in the "General" tab of "Desktop Effects" in System |
| 23 |
Settings. See if hitting the shortcut twice to disable and then |
| 24 |
re-enable desktop effects fixes it. |
