Enlightenment DE going crazy

Weird problem I'm having with Enlightenment...I've been running it just fine for a few days (love it for the most part) but all of the sudden I'm experiencing odd behaviors with the windows: if I move my mouse to them they'll start disappearing and reappearing very rapidly, and only when I move them do they stop. Nemo (my preferred file manager) also occasionally will not allow me to click anything.

I haven't changed any conf files, so I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

IIRC Nemo usually spawns a desktop with it (as Nautilus). Does this continue to happen if you don't use nemo (or, use it with the option/flag of 'no desktop')?

Yeah, it happens with any window that is open

The "not being able to click anything" certainly sounds like Nemo interfering. Try running "killall nemo" in a terminal or TTY.

Also, for the windowing issue, have you installed video drivers?

Yeah, I have. I actually just noticed something: it only seems to occur for overlapping windows. I have tried disabling the focus-window-when-mouse-enters feature and that didn't do it, but I wonder if it's an issue with window focusing. When I click inside the window (if I'm lucky and click in time before it disappears) then it will stay up and work just fine
