I think that my question is confusing the way I posed here. In fact I should
not speak about a window, but I do not know how to name it: sometimes it
appears on the screen as a sort of indication were to put a existing window,
a sort of placeholder or how should I name it? It is a sort of transparent
rectangular that appears on top of my desktop and it does not affect the way
I worked, it is there, I can see and continue my current work, and the only
way to get rid of it is to resize a window, place it on this transparent and
then the window takes the size of that transparent which disappear and after
that I can return to the size that i like for my current work (Firefox for
example, or whatever).

Very strange.  Are you able to get a screen capture with it visible?

I found this on launchpad, but it I don't think it is the same problem is it?
