to the OS, which then redraws, based on that report, or. Or if the App merely reports the dimensions of the window and gadgets etc. What I don't know is who is responsible for window redraw - if it is the App that redraws, I assume that it is incorrect for SMPlayer to draw a small box for audio file playback, but have the window bar for that small box go across the whole screen. Now it is the desktop which is behind SMPlayer/Playlist boxes. If I go to Desktop #4, which is empty except for the desktop, and switch to Desktop #3, If I go to Desktop #2, which is where I have my file manager (Nemo) window displayed, and then to Desktop #3, Now it is the file manager window which is behind SMPlayer and Playlist boxes. On Desktop #3, this little box has taken up permanent residence.

Anyway, this is usually transient, disappearing within a quarter of a second or so.
SMPLAYER WINDOWS SERIES
In addition, when Lubuntu switches Desktops, it briefly puts up a little box showing the (for me) 4 Desktops as a series of connected squares, one of which is dark colored, and the rest white, along with the text 'Desktop x', x being the number of the Desktop. If I go to Desktop #1, where I am writing this bug report in Firefox, and then switch to Desktop #3, the image of Desktop #1 is visible behind the SMPlayer box and Playlist box.
SMPLAYER WINDOWS FULL
The box SMPlayer shows, with the controls, is occupying the upper left hand side of the screen., but the windowbar extends the full width of the screen. Right now, I had played an audio (.mp3) file, having previously played a number of video (.mp4) files maximised (I don't know if originally I told it to maximise, or it just did so, based on the dimensions of the video). I will attach some screenshots, but let me first describe the situation as it is happening right now. Something really goofy is going on with SMplayer playing on my Lubuntu 16.04 system.
