After almost one month of living with the white box every day (due to constant woopra html5 notifications which triggered the bug), i no longer have this issue. What happened is that i installed the click-to- mimimize patch, but in doing so i was having some screen drawing issues all of a sudden.. strangely enough after removing the patch i kept having the wild crazy screen flickering (especially in the unity launcher, windows titles and menu bar).. this made me reinstall the patch and manually restore every single ccsm setting to their default.. most of them were already at their default, but some 3-4-5 were not.. when i deselected the "effects - animation" the screen flickering stopped.. and here is the funny part: after one day with the animations disabled i tried to enable again.. and it worked just fine.
The net result is that now i have a working both a "click on launcher icon to minimize" behavior and also no white box (i received several hundreds html5 notifications today and no white box so far, usually this was happening after just some 20-30 of them)...it feels sooo god to have gotten rid of that annoying box! So, it seems that one of the ccsm setting was the root cause of the problem, and i would bet my money on something related to "windows animation" plugin altogether, or some part of it.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940603 Title: white box randomly shows up at top left corner blocking applications from using stuff under it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/940603/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
