Hello,
I have seen exactly this behaviour on Ubuntu, therefore it is highly probable that this
bug is not Fedora-specific. I have seen it always when running Compiz and never when
running Metacity, therefore I suppose it could be a Compiz bug. Switching applications or
minimizing and restoring application usually helps. I never looked for it, but I would
guess that someone certainly has reported such bug in Compiz. It could also be a video
driver bug (I've seen it on nvidia binary driver).
Unfortunately I currently don't know of any other workaround than switching the
Compiz off.
I found a bug report on this against gnome-terminal. I have added my own
entry to that one, adding that it may be a compiz issue. On the other
hand it could well be that gnome-terminal is involved, as I switch
between gnome-terminal and other apps a lot.
I see this on intel graphics, so I don't think its a driver issue.
