Comment 3 for bug 701131

Isaac, your bug sounds like Bug #786439

I suggest you might look for a problem with compiz and/or different desktops -- for example do you get the same symptoms in Ubuntu (unity AND unity-2d), Kubuntu (kde), Lubuntu (lxde) and/or with the desktop effects turned off or on. There are a few apps that don't play well with compiz and you can sometimes work around them. Please add follow-up comments to the other bug, or file a new one if you don't think you are seeing the same one.
