Hello !
I have the same problem.
I do not have it very often, once a day.
It only happens when I switch between X and Mol (X on vt7, mol on vt8)
Looks to me that this happens when some keys are pressed during switching.
(Other keys then the keys needed for switching)
I was not able to reproduce it, this effect was not there with 0.9.48.
Any hints?
Bye,
Christoph
