Description Julien Viard de Galbert 2010-11-08 12:20:49 UTC

This bug was reported on the debian BTS 4 years ago by Elrond, it still applies.

When a window is waiting for placement, it is displayed as nine squares that follows the cursor, a click then place it. If while the window is not placed, the used switch VT (ctrl+alt+Fx) and switch back to the X server, a copy of the nine squares will be left on the screen.
It will be cleared by moving some windows over it for instance.
