Bug Description
Binary package hint: desktop-effects
This is an up-to-date fiesty system, including the compiz-extras.
But I am seeing this issue for a while now.
when I enable desktop-effects, all normal apps work fine. but applications requiring to enter password (synaptic / login manager etc) behave strangely.
1. The password prompt app (gksudo ?) has the password textbox with junk password. You don't see echos (with * or filled circle) of the characters. The textbox stays blank. But if I click on OK, the application comesup fine on entering correct password.
2. The progressbars don't indicate status correctly. It stays at 0%, even though actual processing is going on. The window just closes after everything is done. For example synaptic reload from repos, just shows 0% complete till the end.
3. The administration menu (after preferences) doen't highlight entries where I kept mouse pointer. Popups showup describing the app, however. This is not the case for preferences menu however, highlighting works however.
