I feel like I've seen something like that before. That said GUI bugs are notoriously difficult to identify via email. The G stands for Graphical, so the only way to see and understand it is to look at the problem with your own eyes. I would not be surprised if your GUI is doing something funky, but you gotta isolate it:
1) consistently reproduce the problem on MATE (so break it on purpose) 2) reproduce it on a different desktop (or not, maybe its MATE specific) 3) Isolate any configuration options or third party utilities that may be the cause. If you show off this problem at a PLUG clinic it might become more obvious to other people what is actually happening. One of my favorite things about Slackware is that it ships with both XFCE and KDE. Whenever I encounter GUI bugs I hop over into the other desktop to see if the problem persists. -Ben On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 9:42 AM Dick Steffens <[email protected]> wrote: > More details.
