I've been seeing the same thing for a while.  I was pretty sure that it has
been discussed on one of the lists previously and was a known issue that
would be addressed.  However I have searched and can't find a reference to
it so I may be making that up.  I've also found that Alt-Tab-ing to
something else and back usually sorts it, though that might not be
appropriate to your setup.
