"Software Updater" window rendered as fully transparent

[moritzheiber]

So this is a bit of a bummer, since it's not reproducible 100% of the time.

System this is happening on: Ubuntu 15.10, latest updates, i3 4.12, compton 0.1~beta2-1 (latest release according to its repository).

When Software Updater picks up on new updates it usually spawns a window telling me which packages are outdated. Said window Is then rendered slightly transparent, I'd say 80% opaque. But when I hover my mouse cursor over it this turns into 0% opaque (or 100% transparent), essentially rendering the window completely useless (it appears to have vanished).

Any behavior, of the top of your head, that might be causing this?

Properties for a "normal" windows, where I couldn't reproduce these issues, are:

_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x1, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0

compton 0.1~beta2-1 (latest release according to its repository)

compton hasn't seen a release in years despite all the changes, so I'd urge you to install a source build first.

Also, I don't think this is related to my compton config. I'd say file this as a bug against compton or Ubuntu.
