Pre Note: EMAIL content is identical to that sent by Web Submittal, but
this e mail content all the attachment requested. Thanks.

Fabio,

Please let me tell some background story first, in the hope, it helps
you understand more comprehensively.

I use Ubuntu since 9.04 and never experience this kind of bug, at least
not this severe. Typically I use Office Libre, GIMP, Fire Fox
simultaneously.

Since I (fresh) install Ubuntu 12.04 I started experiencing this bug. I
did not report, since I thought it would go away with regular update. I
submitted the report two days ago, because at that time, the bug occured
more frequently even to the extent the computer need to be hard
restarted. The bug can not be reproduced without fail, usually it
happened when you type something, than enter or save and Ubuntu reacts.
For example when you want to save a picture in GIMP, it happens the
split second you press 'SAVE', either nothing happens abnormally, or the
bug appears (please look at the screen shot). Another instance was, I
typed something in Fire Fox address bar than enter, than it happens. It
happens typically in the (sub) window following the 'enter'. As said,
not always reproducable, but the day I submit the report, it was quite a
nuissance.

BUT

I don't know, whether it is a coincidence. After submitting the bug, I
hardly encounter this bug again. I encountered it once today, while
trying to sudo edit the 'patch' you requesting, but it went away a
second or two later, even before I managed to screen shot it.

I just tested working with GIMP, Libre Office, Fire Fox, saving in and
out from a USB stick, but were not able to reproduce it again today.
Hopefully it is gone. If you allow, I will test again in one week, if
nothing happen, maybe it is gone.

ANWAY

I attach you some screen shot (from the other day I reported the bug)
and the patch (from today) for your perusal. I am not sure whether I can
attach multiple attachment here but I will try. If it fail, you think
I'd better attach them from my e mail. (EDITED) I think I can only
attach one file, so I will try to send them by e mail after this web
submittal

Fabio, thanks a lot for responding and for helping Ubuntu becoming an
excellent Operating System.

Regards,

Tora
