Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: desktop-effects
This is an up-to-date fiesty system, including the compiz-extras.
But I am seeing this issue for a while now.
when I enable desktop-effects, all normal apps work fine. but
applications requiring to enter password (synaptic / login manager etc)
behave strangely.
1. The password prompt app (gksudo ?) has the password textbox with junk
password. You don't see echos (with * or filled circle) of the
characters. The textbox stays blank. But if I click on OK, the
application comesup fine on entering correct password.
2. The progressbars don't indicate status correctly. It stays at 0%,
even though actual processing is going on. The window just closes after
everything is done. For example synaptic reload from repos, just shows
0% complete till the end.
3. The administration menu (after preferences) doen't highlight entries
where I kept mouse pointer. Popups showup describing the app, however.
This is not the case for preferences menu however, highlighting works
however.
