Description

I have a firefox window open and a small area of it cannot be clicked on. xwininfo on the unclickable region says this:

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
          would like information by clicking the
          mouse in that window.

xwininfo: Window id: 0x8f6b18 (has no name)

Attached screenshot shows the non-clickable region.

I'm not sure if this is a firefox bug or an xfwm bug. Note that the non-clickable window seems to be attached to one specific firefox window, but sometimes extends outside it to obscure other windows.
