This happend to me too.
I'm running Ubuntu Budgie 16.04 using the Elementary GTK theme.
Switching to a different theme seemed to stop this unwanted behavior, so in my case it must be a bug in the Elementary theme.

Using the default Nuxim or Adwaita GTK themes doesn't seem to produce this bug. I too am effective with this bug, but only when using 3rd party themes.

I'm a user of the Paper Theme and can confirm that this is also happening! And yes, the bug disappear whenever I use default themes.

Do we know exactly why this happens? So that we could help remove this very annoying bug for third parties?
