here's an interesting one..
:popcorn:


i just noticed that when i clicked a text field in a webpage in chromium, the autocomplete dropdown appears to potentially fill the field in with data that had been previously entered..
as the data/text was quite long the autocomplete box extended off the right side of the currently visible desktop (i only have one screen in use - its a laptop).

immediately, the visual effects for the desktop is reset to 'none' from 'normal' and thus cairo dock is rendered with a black background and no doubt other issues occur...

i haven't found whether it is chromium specifically that does this or whether it is a more general issue for all apps..

has anyone encountered this?

thanks
