This sounds it could be Bug 759980: 
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759980>, especially since 
you're on XCFE.

There's a patch attached to that bug that has already been committed to 
master, but from memory I can't include it officially in 0.11 since it 
is a UX change and may require a more recent version of GTK+ than 0.11 
supports.

The patch should still apply cleanly to 0.11.x however and if you're on 
Sid then your version of GTK+ will be modern enough, so it may well fix 
the issue for you.
