Description Steven DuBois 2008-12-14 15:59:12 UTC
When a window is over a rxvt-unicode window with scrolling text (irssi, emerge, etc), the next scrolling becomes jumbled and is only clear when the window is moved. This does not happen when xterm is used, so i do not think it is a problem with the vesa driver. I am using the evilwm window manager and i do not have this problem on my PowerPC machine (also running Gentoo with evilwm and urxvt)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open urxvt and have text scroll (emerge --sync for example)
2.Place another window over the urxvt window
3.where the bottom of the top window is over the urxvt window, the text will become unreadable.
4. Move the urxvt window and the text will clear up.

Actual Results:  
Text became unreadable.

Expected Results:  
Text should be readabble.

I tried many different programs over the urxvt window with the same result.

I guess this is a bug with your versa device. Can you try to take a screenshot? I saw that for example with nv, switched to a different graphic drivers fixed it.
