Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

I'm putting this in compiz because I'm pretty sure that's what's causing this.
When I press F11 to make Firefox fullscreen, any new things that compiz draws with effects, including menus and tooltips, make the whole screen/window blink to the desktop briefly.

The same and in Opera too. Not 100% sure, but it starts after KDE upgrade to 4.2.

It is caused by compiz, when you disable it you won't have this issue anymore.
It seems not to be limited to firefox or opera.
In my case I have also this issue with rythmbox.
I don't have it under gedit or openoffice.

I have this issue on my samsung NC10 and also on a desktop computer with an NVIDIA 7300GS graphic card.

Hope it helps
