Actually, it's grey... same grey as the gnome theme. Not white, which would be a different type of bug.

Does the window redraw properly when resized?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

I can confirm the issue here. When starting from dash first time the window appears fine, the next time its just the frame. I switched to metacity and the issue have not happened for a several tries from the terminal

Week 36 - Same issue observed with a terminal window on ubuntu 12.04 with ppa:unity-team/sru
Observe on step 6.

Action:
1. Ensure unity is running on a machine with a nvidia GPU using the nvidia driver
2. Open two windows of the same app (Terminal in this example)
3. Minimize one
4. Click the launcher icon to activate the spread and again click the launcher icon to deactivate the spread- repeat this a couple of times.
5. When the spread is not active, close the terminal window which is visible on screen.
6. Now click on launcher terminal icon to bring the minimized window to view. - Observe.

Week 36 - The was observed on machine with Nvidia GPU

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Confirmed. This bug has been annoying me for at least a year.

[Nice Testhouse (testhouse)]

Week 37 - Similar issue and some new ones observed on ubuntu 12.10 quantal with ppa:unity-team/staging

Some additional issues observed:
1) The title of the windows disappears in spread view.
2) When tried with terminal/Firefox windows, the resulting blank window has a grey window border and black inside. Sometimes it has grey window border and translucent inside.
3) Graphics when spread gets activated is not smooth - the lighting goes dull slowly and the windows movement into spread is not very smooth.

Action:
1. Ensure unity is running on a machine with a nvidia GPU using the nvidia driver
2. Open two windows of the same app (Terminal in this example)
3. Minimize one
4. Click the launcher icon to activate the spread and again click the launcher icon to deactivate the spread- repeat this a couple of times.
5. When the spread is not active, close the terminal window which is visible on screen.
6. Now click on launcher terminal icon to bring the minimized window to view. - Observe.

Week 38 - Same issue as in week 37 observed, same version of ubuntu, 12.10 quantal with ppa:unity-team/staging

[Nice Testhouse (testhouse)]

Week 46 - Same issue observed with Firefox browser on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Nvidia machine with ppa:unity-team/sru. After step 4, the focussed window (recently minimized) was blank just showing the top title bar.

Please note that any action like a click anywhere on the desktop will bring the window back to normal looking displaying its content.

TEST CASE ID CAN - Can-92 :: Version : 1 alttab/windows-tab-release-minimized

Test Steps:
1 Open an application with multiple windows (some of them should be minimized)
2 Press alt + tab until you highlight this application, hold alt
3 Continue tapping tab to highlight on a minimized window
4 Release alt

Expected result:
-> After a short delay, all windows for this application should be shown (even minimized ones) [2D: fail]
-> The selected window should be restored and focused

The issues you report are a different bug, probably bug 729979. Please comment there instead.
