Public bug reported: Sometimes windows controls are not drawn and they are unusable, it is impossible to regularly close the windows (need to force termination of the process).
When this happens firefox won't even start, and gnome-terminal is unusable. Some other windows are fine though, for example calculator or vino confirmation window of incoming connections. Trying to take a screenshoot causes the X server to freeze (the screenshoot attached was taken via vnc when the same problem appeared to another pc). This seems to happen only when using pidgin, so I suspect the bug is in one of the two plugins below (pidgin was working just fine without them and both pc have the same plugins and plugins settings). pidgin-encryption with option to draw locks near encrypted messages and Mystatusbox (in package pidgin-plugin-pack) with statusboxes for each account visible and global one hidden. Closing pidgin, restating gdm, X-server or dbus does not fix the problem. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- controls of some windows are not drawn when using pidgin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
