I don't even now know I had a point. I was only trying to reproduce a bug. I usually find it difficult to remember what actions I take and what happens exactly. Remember this thread started with: 'When switching focus from one window to another, the target window may become blank.' This is not a solid basis upon which to reproduce the bug. Next it is stated 'the issue was triggered after about 5-10 clicks'. So I clicked 30 times, and nothing irregular happened. And yet, I got bitten by this bug in circumstances more or less like this imprecise description.

My main purpose was to reproduce this bug in a deterministic way. If I lost my audience halfway, I'm sorry.

I have Ubuntu 12.04, NOT 12.10 and yet I encounter black window contents regularly. You state 'it is the EXACT same bug'. Only I cannot reproduce it. The only thing I remember is, that it seems to happen with Firefox windows. But if I try to reproduce it (even after rebooting) I only get blank (white) contents.

So please tell me have to reliably (deterministically) get black window contents.
