Long standing Xfce desktop problem
I don't really know how to categorize this, so let me explain. This
started a while back on my F22 system and is continuing on the F24 system.
What I switch workspaces I often get a screen that looks something like
a desktop snapshot. It goes away when I move the mouse, kind of block
by block. An <alt-tab> to a different app on the switched-to workspace
causes a complete repaint of the proper app and an <alt-tab> takes me back.
This has been a pain for some time.
Then I noticed that if Firefox was busy on one workspace, the one I was
on would switch to this fake screenshot. I would try and get back the
active screen, but the screenshot keeps coming back until Firefox is
done doing whatever it is doing (like reporting the progress of a file
download).
Firefox seems to be really tied into this. But what might be the
problem and how do I report this as a bug. My weak search foo has not
found any thing reported like this.
Guidance on resolving/reporting this is greatly appreciated.
