Flash-content from Firefox visible as Terminator background when Firefox-window is minimized

[mlavikai]

There is a strange issue concerning flash-animations on Firefox.

Steps to reproduce:

* Install Terminator and open a terminal with it
* Go to some page containing Flash-animation with Firefox
* Minimize the FIrefox-window
* Move Terminator-window on top of the flash animation, where it should be when Firefox-window is open
* The flash-animation is shown through the Terminator-background

Un update: I just noticed that this happens with almost any application: Nautilus, Thunderbird etc. I just did not realize it until I opened a big animation.

[Harry van Haaren (harryhaaren)]

Confirmed, same behaviour here.

I'm wondering is the the graphics driver, or window manager / desktop software though.

Could you post some info on what driver your using for the Quattro NVS?

[mlavikai (marko-lavikainen-netkoti)]

Current driver is: nvidia-current 270.41.06-0ubuntu1
