Ghost of selected text "stuck" to desktop.

See attached screen shot. This has happened multiple times with several versions of Dexpot, currently 1.6.14 Build 2439. I'm runing Win7Pro on MacBookPro with a Thunderbolt display (happens using DVI, VGA, and Thunderbolt connectors).

What happens is that I select text with mouse and then on copy that selected text becomes "stuck" as a transparent image on the desktop. It is persistent. If I exit Dexpot, the ghost image vanishes. On rerunning Dexpot, however, the ghost reappears on Display 1 no matter which display it was originally on. Thus far the only way I have found to remove it is to restart my computer!!! Sometimes logging out of my Windows session and then back in will kill it.

Is there something else I can do? Some cache I can scrub? Some configuration to set?

It is very annoying.

Thanks.

In case anyone finds this:

Another thread gave me the answer I needed. Turns out there is *another* way to get ghosting/shadows. Selecting text and inadvertantly dragging it, will sometimes result in ghosting/shadows for me, but also drop shadows. In another thread about that a way of removing them was mentioned. The Desktop Windows command showed a "Drag" item! That was the ghost which when killed eliminated the ghost. Excellent. Now I don't have to reboot/logout. Thanks!

what's the editor called (is this Sublime's window)? Any third-party applications running in the background beautifying your desktop?
