You neglected to say which desktop you're using nor which video card you're using (I'm guessing Intel). I had similar issues on both F23 and F24 with Xfce and the xfwm4 window manager. I went into "Settings->Window Manager Tweaks", then in the "Compositor" tab, I enabled "Enable display compositing" and the problems I was having seem to have gone away. I won't promise they're completely gone, but I haven't seen them since. They may pop up again. Note this only happened on two machines with Intel graphics. A third machine (a laptop) did not exhibit the issue. I have not seen this on an nVidia chipset. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Political Correctness: The insane doctrine that postulates that it - - is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
