Unluckily this is a complicated bug to fix. I'm unable to reproduce it on my hardware and also have little knowledge of the internals of xfwm4 and also the libraries it uses (looks like cairo has an important role in this) This problem is being tracked upstream here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15990 If you have time you could post a followup there with your findings, this at least would show the bug is alive and maybe attract some attention. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@freebsd.org>
