Bug Description

I attach a screen shot showing a mysterious redraw. Blue background is painted on the menu area. Before I took the screen shot I pressed the "system" menu and it was redrawn immediately. This has happened several times before.

Natty is installed and I use a traditional Ubuntu look.

Another similar bug happens when using CodeBlocks IDE. When scrolling in an editor and a tooltip is shown, window redraws as in screenshot1.png. These extra lines sometimes disappear, but are there most of the time.

using: Ubuntu 11.04

This bug never happened in Ubuntu 10.10.
