Bug Description

After waking from suspend whatever application is in the foreground has horizontal bars behind it that are the color of the window decorations. The Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons are also garbled visually but still work. See that attached image "Firefox with horizontal bars behind it". This has only happened once so far, all wake from suspends prior to this morning have not caused this. Reboting fixedthe problem.

Thank you for your bug report. That ticket is quite old and we didn't get recent report of the problem, also it seems to work correctly now, closing. Feel free to reopen if you can still reproduce in more recent versions.
