Re: [Bug 709461] Re: Application windows can sometimes fail to display and will mask regions of the screen
Everyone, I know this issue exists, I've been trying to debug it for a long time. The most useful thing for me now would be _detailed_ _instructions_ to _reproduce_ it. Please don't comment saying that you are also affected unless you have found a way to reliably or at least semi-reliably trigger it.
