I work on Ubuntu 14.04 daily, and Lubuntu 14.04 almost weekly, and 
haven't yet seen this, but I'll keep an eye out for it.  It may be an 
interaction with the driver - does your use have a dedicated graphics 
card?  Both of my current Linux GUI boxes use dedicated graphics.

If we're able to come up with a reproducible recipe please make sure a 
bug report is filed against it.  RunRev's Fraser Gordon has been doing a 
stellar job of rewriting significant portions of LC's interace with 
Linux GUI components for v7 (dp 10 was just released - worth checking 
out), so this is an excellent time to pin down any such details.

In fact, Fraser's been knocking off Linux bug reports nearly as fast as 
I can type them - thanks, Fraser!
