For me this happens when I try to open Pidgin from the top right letter icon. What happens is that Pidgin kind of starts, but is invisible, the Pidgin icon is visible with the arrow in the Unity pane. To get Pidgin visible I do: 1) right click the pidgin icon in the Unity pane -> click "Quit" 2) reopen pidgin from the top right corner letter icon 3) pidgin is again invisible, press alt + tab to "change window" (although it is not necessary to have any other applications open) 4) click pidgin icon from the Unity pane, now it should be visible
This happens also with automatic updates, the update window is invisible unless I "change window" with alt+tab. It has something to do with window focus or something. The problem also appears in Firefox as having invisible context menus, the alt+tab thing works for these too. Sometimes the Firefox works, sometimes not. I use a lot of virtual desktops and it seems that changin the desktop somehow breaks the window focusing. The context menus usually flash quickly and get invisible, as if they were hidden behind the fullscreen Firefox. Also Firefox address bar and every place on a web page where you can write text and Firefox shows its suggestions, have this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899874 Title: Windows not appearing or invisible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/899874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
