So it happened to me again today, after not occurring during normal use for some time now. Big white box, caused me to have to restart X to get rid of it.
Interestingly, I discovered that THIS bug seems to be the cause of this bug: #957005 Whenever that large white box is stuck on top of the desktop, I am unable to use the log-out button on the power menu, but ONLY when this bug is occurring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940603 Title: white box randomly shows up at top left corner blocking applications from using stuff under it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/940603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
