Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I did not yet detect what does provoc that; but randomly, on firefox and thunderbird
a lag appear on the (maximized) windows.

How to reconize this bug :
the cursor get focus/overlay on an object (exemple: a tab close button ) when your cursor is vertically some pixel above this object.
On firefox a blank area appears between tabs and the global menu.

How to leave the problem :
Move the windows (alt+cursor) or minize, then re-maximize make this bug temporaly away until it randomly cames back.

Why this bug is annoying :
You try to clic on something but you fail until you understand something wrong happened

it happened like 10 time today

before reporting this bug, i asked someone if he has the same issues, and he said that yes.

I am experiencing exactly the same. It is really annyoing!
I don't use Firefox, so I don't know anything about that. But in Thunderbird it seems to happen almost every time I have new mail and want to read it. I can't open my Inbox and I am unable to click on it in that case. I always have Thunderbird minimized and I maximize it to read my new mail. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity and Thunderbird 3.1.9.
It may be important that I use the Thunderbird Indicator extension and that after getting new mail notifications I maximize Thunderbird using the Link in the indicator.

I don't know why, but it has been quite a while since this happened the last time. I think something solved this…
