Linux / xfce / Spotify 0.9.10 - Main window does not lose the focus

[sagie]

Hi,

With the new version, the spotify client has a strange behavior. The main window (the center panel) doesn't lose the focus and always is top. I can not view the right click option menu and other apps windows.

In the screencast the main window is void. With a screenshoot happens equal.  In true, i can view the window with content but I need minimize the window to use other apps.

Version:

Any ideas to resolve this fail?

Any help?

You seem to be running a customized setup. What window manager are you using?

It may have to do with GPU accelerated webviews. What graphics card and driver do you run (proprietary or open)? If you click a playlist in the sidebar, what happens? (playlists are not webviews).

Does an older version work better?

I am running 0.9.10 on Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit without problems, and 0.9.4 on Xubuntu 14.04 32-bit without such problems.

Hi,

Great! I resolved the problem disabling the 3D speedup. The machine is a guest in Virtualbox.

Thank you so much!

Makes sense. I have had similar experiences in VirtualBox.
