I have never seen that issue on Ubuntu, nor can I reproduce it on my nVidia-based Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation. However, I have seen a similar issue on other GNOME 3 platforms, including SLES 12, RHEL 7, and Fedora 22. I'm wondering if it's the same issue you're experiencing:
https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/43#issuecomment-239725105 If so, then it's caused by an interaction bug between GTK3 and X.org 7.7 (the version on which TurboVNC is based), and it should be fixed in GTK 3.19.6, but that version doesn't appear to have made it into Xenial yet. The issue doesn't exist with later versions of the X.org X server. Specifically, it's known to occur with xorg-xserver 1.13 and earlier but not with xorg-xserver 1.15 (TurboVNC uses xorg-xserver 1.12.4.) However, I spent numerous hours last summer (as I was debugging TurboVNC 2.1) attempting to figure out what it was about xorg-xserver 1.15 that made that version immune from the bug. Unfortunately I was never able to identify the exact point at which the fix occurred. If I could identify that, then I could back-port the relevant code into the TurboVNC X server.
