Any fixes to this bug already? It's been 3 years and I'm still experiencing exactly the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04 running Mathematica 10.4.1

Just a comment: It really has nothing to do with the specific Linux distribution you are using. It's the desktop environment that is important. Since I had more such glitches that I found increasingly annoying taking into account that I was using a standard Ubuntu which is surely one of the most used distributions these days, I finally decided to make a hard decision last year.

For my new system, I'm using now XUbuntu which comes with Xfce, a very very lightweight desktop environment. In preparation, I had tested several other Ubuntu versions like LUbuntu, KUbuntu, etc. As it turned out, when you have a version that doesn't show a particular bug, it sometimes show a different bug in the front-end (I remember eg that LUbuntu had a completely screwed splash screen).

I'm currently doing fine with XUbuntu, although you have to clearly say that Xfce is lightweight and cannot be compared with a GPU supported Gnome environment. The only issue with Mathematica on Xfce is that rarely, copy and paste doesn't work and you have to try it a second time.

I concur. I'm currently seeing this problem on Red Hat EL 7.2 with Mathematica 10.3.1, but it has existed through several versions of Mma and RHEL. Please fix!

This problem still exists with Mathematica 10.4 on Gnome 3.18.
