Only external panel plugins placed left of the window buttons and close to the left screen seem to be affected by this glitch. Hovering over these panel items with the cursor restores the panel appearance. xfce4-panel 4.10.0git-d296ca7 (Xfce 4.10) Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Alpha 2 Related bug report (xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin): https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/issues/37

What is the current status?
Thaddaeus Tintenfisch' patch works perfectly for me. But it is neither committed to git nor released.

Pushed the patch to git master: 8dc83f5 Do not use widget snapshot as tasklist draw icon
On Xubuntu 15.04 with XFCE 4.12, the bug is still active. There is now no need of the snapshot widget to reproduce the bug. To reproduce the bug, just boot the Xubuntu ISO as a live-CD into a VirtulBox, open a Thunar window then drag it. The Whisker button disappears...

I also have this bug on Debian testing with XFCE 4.12. I would have liked to test Tintenfisch's patch, but I can't get xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-1.5.2 compiled, because it depends on libxfce4panel-1.0, but I can only find libxfce4panel-2.0 in my repositories. Trying to compile libxfce4panel from source also doesn't work easily, because it depends on garcon-gtk2-1 which doesn't seem to be satisfied with libgarcon-1-0-dev which is the only one I an find in my repository. I get the feeling I first would need to do a Linux from Scratch to compile this, why is that?

This has been fixed [0] and version 4.12.1 is no longer suffering this issue. [0] https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/commit/?id=8dc83f507d7340fa46c5b8927e5b320c5595fb7d
