I have several external displays that I connect to my laptop (800x600, 1660x1050). When I put an application, such as Totem, Pure Data or Eye of Gnome, full screen (via F11) in the external display, the display on the primary screen (my laptop) starts to act weird and not refresh properly. Examples:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hJVwQ.png - Running Pure Data full screen. There is only one window open but the ghost of one is displayed
http://i.stack.imgur.com/mls7M.png - Attempting to resize a window. The orange resize animati is left behind
Is there a way to fix this?
I have a Dell XPS 13 developer edition running Ubuntu 13.10 with Intel® Ivybridge Mobile graphics and Intel® Core™ i7-3537U CPU @ 2.00GHz × 4 processors.
