Title bar buttons disappear & looses focus

[bigal50]

Linux Mint Katya RC1 64 bit
AuoraMint Theme
ATI Mobile Radion video card
ASUS N61JQ laptop

This has happened several times and I can't tell exactly when it happens but the Title bar turns gray and all the icons disappear so there isn't any way for closing the window other than right clicking in the panel/close or File/Close. This happens to all open windows and at the same time you can not drag the windows either nor can you change focus by clicking on or in the window.

This seems to happen when I have several windows open and on different desktops. The last time this happened I had Firefox, gEdit, Bluefish along with Nautilus open all at the same time.

Rebooting cures the issue.

Just an update, this happened 2 more times after I reported it. Once I had a lot of stuff open and the other maybe Firefox and one other window.

It has been over about a week now and I have not seen the issue again. The only thing that has changed on the system is the updates that have come through.
