Perhaps this is not the appropriate forum for this problem but the
Debian List has been an invaluable resource over the years. I happen
to be a Chemist and although I've been using computers in my work
since the 1960's, I am not a computer person, only a user.
I am running Debian Stretch on my main computer. I have an AMDFX-8320
Eight-Core Processor on a ASUS MSAR2.0 Moptherboard and 8GB of running
XFCE4. I an encountering a rather odd problem for which I have no
explanation.
If I have more that three or four apps open at one time, all of the
non-active windows will pop open at random and predictable times with
the result that no one window will be useable, unless I close every
app that's open.
This performance is rather annoying and rather disruptive.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
