Description

  • Linux Mint 20.3, Notes version 1.8.
  • Looked at code: /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py
  • Code contains commit: self.dummy_window.move(-2, -2)
  • I have a white pixel in the center of my screen. Closing the application does not fix this.

Thank you for your great work! (and how do I remove the pixel? :S)

Research direction

Reproduce the white pixel on Linux Mint 20.3 with Notes 1.8, then inspect /usr/lib/sticky/sticky.py around self.dummy_window.move(-2, -2) and the cited commit. Trace the dummy window's behavior after the application closes. Done means the stray pixel no longer appears or persists after closing Sticky.
