Public bug reported: every time when I switch between virtual screens an orange rectangle just like in the screenshot appears and stays right their either flushed towards left or right and goes away once I restore the application window running on the virtual screen from its maximized state. Application window that is running does not matter; I have tested same problem with a number of applications such as firefox, eclipse or gedit and so on. I t appears to be like a place holder waiting to show something.
