This transparent orange stuff keeps coming up and blocking half my screen. How do I disable it? I'm guessing it's a window snapping/workspace thing? It's popped up 3 times in the last hour without any input from me. In the screenshot my hand is off the mouse and it just stays there.
I'm able to get rid of it by dragging a window to the top of the screen.
This is an issue with the tilling. For now, you can disable Enhanced Tiling in your Settings → Ubuntu Desktop:
After that restart the computer. When the bug is fixed you can turn them back on.
Here are two relevant bug reports:
You should enter your info in the bug reports for two reasons: first you will get an email when something happens in the bug report and second you will increase the pressure to solve the issue faster. You can read more about what happens when you subscribe to a bug in Bugs/Subscriptions.
The bug seems to have been fixed. Read the latest changes in Click on the topbar invokes the enhanced tiling on maximized windows and update. Once the tiling is updated if you wish to have it, turn it back on.
Very much have this, and it's seemingly something that undocks your window (Brave here) when you're not trying to do that... When you redock, it persists over the top.. A ctrl+tab to another app seems to fix, but equally, at super up,then left, then right brings the tab list... Perhaps that's a new feature, but the orange stuff is not a 24.* related issue...
For me going full screen and back (F11) in Firefox (didn't try other applications) solved this problem.
I simply clicked on the top-most menu bar (the black one, that has the time in the middle i.e. Fri Jul 26 2:37PM) and the translucent orange rectangle dissapeared.
