  On a similar note - I find sometimes that the pointer becomes
  doubled (as if I were seeing double). It has occurred for me when
  I attempt to copy some of what I think is text, but turns out to
  be an image, in firefox.

  It's no big deal for me, so I'm only mentioning it because of this
  topic. 

  FYI:
  I'm running fluxbox 1.3.5 on ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit mac install.
