Description Manuel Danisch 2010-11-02 16:00:41 UTC
I run compiz standalone. When I open a xterm window and type something, the characters get corrupted. There is a RedHat-Bug describing (and solving) my problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614542

The upstream fix is linked in comment 14:
http://git.compiz.org/compiz/core/commit/?h=compiz-0.8&id=0f95c41a0aa175ddf7947ba18b01f746c95594a9

I copied the official ebuild into my local overlay, modified it to apply the upstream patch, and now everything works as expected. Could somebody please integrate this patch into the main tree?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start compiz
2. Start xterm
3. Type something

Actual Results:  
Characters are not readable

Expected Results:  
Display readable characters
