I've had this happen before...maybe two years ago? I have no recollection now of how/why it went away--but it's back now! On my brand-new laptop, since reinstalling K, a mysterious white rectangle appears when I'm running SeaMonkey. And I run SeaMonkey ALL THE TIME.
It's always in exactly the same spot, the top left corner of my screen:
(The gray background isn't part of my screen--that's just part of the image so you can see the problem better. The white rectangle is always in the 0,0 position.)
Its position doesn't vary with resizing or moving SeaMonkey. It's not selectable, i.e., clicking or right-clicking on it does nothing.
As soon as I close SM the rectangle disappears. There is NOTHING extra in ps when running SM. I've compared ps output with and without SM running, and the ONLY difference is its program entry, which is /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey.
Sometimes when I initially start SM the rectangle isn't there, but it ALWAYS appears at some point. I can see absolutely no common theme behind its appearance. I mean it doesn't seem to matter what sites I'm on, or which other programs I'm running, etc. It really seems completely random--except for the fact that it always eventually appears.
Before I reinstalled K a few days ago, this was not happening. This is my new System76 laptop which came with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed; I wiped it and installed K 12.04 (see my thread about borking it for more info), then upgraded to 14.04 via version upgrades. This issue was NOT happening then. It was only after I wiped / and installed K from DVD that it started.
Any ideas on what the [blankety blank] this is?
