Public bug reported: I observed this when 2 instantiations of Firefox were opened on 2 differenr desktop views, or short time after one of them was closed.
When the mouse gets close to the screen left, the transparent-orange-bar appears like we were about to 'half-maximize' some window, however there is no such window - nothing is 'half-maximized', the orange bar stays untill I manage, somehow, to get rid of it. Some way to get rid of it is to select / deselect desktop view switch. In similar conditions, Firefox stops respond keyboard input - no URL, no text fields on the web page.
