Public bug reported: There's a 1x17 white bar of pixels that shows up in the upper left of the screen. They're usually hidden (due to the top menu bar) but they're visible when a program spans the whole screen (ex. full screen terminals or video - see attached screenshot). This sliver of pixels is unresponsive, by which I mean that clicking them doesn't do anything, even if the application usually displays a right-click context menu.
This problem manifests on a couple of my systems: Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on a laptop (HP Pavilion dv5163cl) Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on a PC (Dell Dimension 9200) I've noticed that this occurs when I: a. Run VLC (music or video, it always occurs) b. Inconsistently occurs when using Firefox then it disappears when I close those applications. After a bit of investigating I stumbled on a forum post suggesting that this might either concern Adobe Flash or UIM (both of which I have): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-689310-highlight-openbox.html?sid=131dee068fb5ecfdbda853430ae1dbce However, the last post was in 2004 and I'm not spotting a bug report so here it is! My apologies if I should be sending this to someone upstream. This is a low priority issue, but it's kinda annoying when watching movies so please let me know if I can be of any help in solving it.
