Thanks for your suggestion.  I am pretty convinced it is an interaction
between the Gnome window manager and the Nvidia driver since it started
after I installed the Nvidia driver and it requires me to change the
Appearance menu from None to Normal to get rid of the behavior.  It does
still affect other windows like the download manager for example.  But after
restarting all I have to do to work around is change the appearance
selection under Visual Effects.  This really does need to be fixed for final
release.  Let me know if you want me to try uninstalling the Nvidia driver.
