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).
I know that my question is not very clear, but the problem is that I dont
know the name or the meaning, or even the purpose of that transparent
rectangular.
Any help is very appreciated.
