I'm seeing the same thing here, on multiple machines, all Hardy x86 with all the updates applied.
I have seen this issue with one other app: SAOimage ds9. Launching ds9 from the menu produces the tiny vertical window you can see (with low opacity) floating over this post I'm typing. I suspect it is due to a bad interaction between Compiz and Motif (perhaps Compiz is ignoring WM hints from Motif?) There is a crude workaround for NEdit posted at: http://www.nedit.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-February/009663.html Please do reopen this bug. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot showing tiny Motif window created under Compiz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15928192/Screenshot-Motif-vs-Compiz.png -- nedit diag windows do not appear with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235395 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
