I can reproduce, in fact is present on my daily use systems, a Compaq Mini CQ10-1100, Dell Optiplex 7040, Acer Notebook and home constructed PC (AMD XII 450, Radeon, Gigabyte MOBO), in all these I got this behaviour, also something that begin to think maybe related is the usage of LXDE/Openbox that is present on all my machines.
Also Lubuntu seems to suffer similar problem (again LXDE) [1],[2] and at one time was present on Red Hat [3] and also in Arch [4], sadly reading the Arch report I think maybe is a regression problem... searching directly with abisource found [5] that is assigned and open... so looks like upstream has not a fix currently.
