Alt+Esc draws a black rectangle in the wrong position
Last modified: 2012-09-02 09:33:09 UTC
Hitting Alt+Esc multiple times draws a black rectangle with the correct size, but in the wrong position. It is always starting from the top-left corner of the first window.
No one is experiencing this? For me it is still present in version 3.0.1. Press "Alt", then, without releasing it, press "Esc" multiple times: the black border is in the wrong position (except for the first window).
I’m experiencing this too. It also happens when one uses Alt+F6 to switch between windows belonging to the same application. Please fix this for 3.2, shouldn’t be that hard since the only thing that’s incorrect is the rectangle origin.

While waiting for a decision, could you at least remove the rectangle if you don't have time/interest to fix its position? It is somewhat distracting

It's not that simple - the position passed to gdk_window_move_resize[0] is correct, but doesn't appear to work but when placing the window initially. GdkWindow is an area which has seen major internal changes in the transition to 3.0, so the problem here is either a bug in GDK or (much more likely) GDK stopped supporting the trickery we do[1] behind GTK+'s back. Note that removing the gdk_window_hide() call right after the comment seems to fix the issue, but given the comments I'm far from confident that this fix would be correct.
