LibGDX Setup App

I've had this happen with 2 applications: Technic Launcher and LibGDX Setup App. They're completely blank until you go to another window and back and start hovering the cursor around (stays blank but some GUI elements show up).

[soniex2@soniex-pc ~]$ gnome-shell --version

I can confirm this problem with TWS. New screen are grey, the content only appears when you alt-tab between two windows. I installed KDE on the same pc, TWS worked there without problems.

gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.14.3

Looks like LibGDX found a workaround for it... https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/2475

Hi I found a similar problem using ADempiere it breaks at javax.swing.JTabbedPane.fireStateChanged(JTabbedPane.java:416) it is supposed to show a two sided panel with some elements that you can move from left to right or right to left using a set of buttons. This used to work fine in version 3.8.4 but I updated my production server and got gnome 3.14.0 and this is not working now.

This sounds like the same issue that https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?h=gnome-3-18&id=26a18e83125529605eda88a5eb60a884914c311c fixes. Can you confirm by updating mutter to 3.18.3 ?
