Description

The error bar on Gnome seems to not refresh properly. The background probably should be cleared.
Very quickly the messages are written on top of each other, and there are also bits of the editor canvas appearing:
transparency-refreshing-bug-drracket

(This bug has been around for a while for me, but I haven't complained since now.)
