Occasionally, when there are multiple programs open, some applications, like Chromium and Google-Earth, stop refreshing window and it seems to be frozen. At this point we can not switch tabs, pages are static, the text does not scroll. Apparently the window is unresponsive, but when we minimize/maximize/restore the window, the image is correctly updated.
For example, in Google Chrome when the issue occurs, if another tab is clicked, no apparent effect occurs and the tab is not switched. If we click on a link on the page, the system will apparently not follow the link. But if we minimize/restore the window, the new page or the clicked tab is showed properly.
Close other applications, maximize/minimize/restore/resize the window, sometimes solves the problem.
