Fences causes my screen background to randomly go black
On occasion, Fences will cause my screen background to go black. Eventually, it will fix itself, but it is super annoying.

I have the same problem exactly but with fences 6.
any fix for this awful bug ?
Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please create your own thread since your issue is on Fences v6 and this one was on v4. Lots has changed since then. Create a new one and we can try to help you with your issue.
Thank you,

Hi Synth-
It seems like other users were able to resolve the issue by changing the wallpaper to a solid image the same color as the color you wish to use. We're surprised to see this one still occurring too but for sake of diagnosis, would you be able to create such a wallpaper and see if it resolves the issue?
In either event, again I'll request as well if you could enable advanced logging, reboot, and then submit an error log that could help us begin looking into the issue as well. (Regardless of whether the changing wallpaper to an image fixes it, as we'd like to fully resolve this.)
Also, I'm wondering if pressing F5, or logging off/on resolves the issue.
It happens less often when I use an image wallpaper, but I still get occasional black flickering/blinking. The black squares also seem to appear much less frequently now, if at all.
I also noticed another issue: I can't pull the desktop pages/screens from the edge properly. It feels like the mouse cursor is actually moving onto the next, unseen desktop/page instead of staying on the current one.
When this happens, I can move the mouse around on that invisible page, and it sometimes takes several drags toward the current screen before the cursor comes back.
Thank you for the information.
Please follow the instructions to upload your log and we will take a look to see what jumps out
