compiz leaves artifacts after password is entered

[pwnprog]

Sometimes when I am running an application which requires me to input my password, compiz will leave artifacts all over my desktop once I enter the password. Once I drag a window across the screen or initiate the desktop cube, the artifacts disappear. Is anybody else having this problem? It doesn't happen constantly though Maybe once every 3 or 4 times?

it's definitely not a big deal, but slightly annoying and worth reporting if it hasn't been already.

Yeah happens sometimes to me too.

I think it comes from one of the plugins I enabled, but it doesn't bother me that much to find out more info.

Lol. It just happened to me, it happens all the time. I have a screenshot.
Here is the workaround from the above thread (so you don't have to go looking through it).

Under System>Preferences>Accessibility>Assitive Technology Preferences you can tick 'Password dialogues as floating windows'. This gives you a standard window in which to type your password, no greying-out effect, and no lockup for me. Thumbs up all round.
