Package: xfce4 Version: 4.12.5 Severity: important File: xfce Dear Maintainer,
While working in Terminal Emulator, I moved the mouse pointer out of the window. A spurious window resize event occurred, leaving a size indicator "80x32" on the screen. I minimized the window and the indicator remained on the desktop. I restored the Terminal window and the indicator remained. I switched to another Workspace, which seemed correct, switched back, and the indicator was still there. I tried typing in the Terminal windows and the keyboard did not work. I was able to select other Terminal windows. The keyboard still did not work. I closed the various open windows by clicking the Close decoration. I right-clicked on the minimized windows in Window Buttons, but their context menus did not open. I clicked on the minimized windows in Windows Button and they restored. I closed them via the Close decoration. I clicked the Application Menu and its menu did not open. I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del and the screen went black. After 5~10 seconds, the graphical login screen appeared. I logged in, opened a terminal, and filed this bug report. This machine is a Dell Latitude E6520 with an Intel Core i7-2720QM processor, 16GB memory, 60 GB SSD, and Intel/NVIDIA Optimus graphics. When I installed Debian 10.8 on it 7+ months ago, YouTube videos crashed after ~20 minutes. I pulled the system disk and put it on the shelf. Every few weeks I would install the disk, update/ upgrade, and test again. I tried installing the NVIDIA proprietary driver. That was a disaster. I blame PEBKAC. After upgrading to 10.9, YouTube videos crashed after a few hours. After upgrading to 10.0, YouTube videos stopped crashing. I then started using the machine as a daily driver. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing desktop malfunctions ever since. Their frequency has increased recently (I just experienced a spurious desktop select (?) event when moving the mouse cursor out of a Terminal window). I can usually get out of them by operating various windows, decorations, buttons, menus, etc., but not always. I have tested Debian 10 OS disk in a desktop machine with an Intel DQ67SW motherbaord, Intel Core i7-2600S processor, and 8 GB memory. That machine has Intel integrated graphics and has been reliable since Debian 6 or 7 (~2013?). Therefore, I suspect the problem is related to the Optimus graphics and/or nouveau driver.
