Description Alexandre Hannud Abdo 2009-11-11 18:24:09 UTC
Scrollable windows become messy when scrolling or when new items are introduced.

This started after the updates to gnome-2.28

I'm using ~amd64

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open any scrollable window
2. scroll up and down, click to move the scrollbar, etc...
3. do that until updating fails, ghosts appear, text becomes superposed, etc...

Actual Results:  
window displayed does not correspond to actual window state


Changing desktops back and forth forces an update making things look right

Hitting prtscr also triggers an update, so i can't generate a screenshot

Comment 1 Alexandre Hannud Abdo 2009-11-11 18:39:35 UTC
Just to clarify...

I should have said "Reproducible: Always" since if you try enough times it does happen on every scrollable window. It's easier to reproduce with larger scrollbars.

Apparently it affects every gtk+ application: scrollable pages on firefox, email lsts on evolution, contact lists and conversations on empathy, file folders on nautilus, etc.
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-12 10:56:08 UTC
You will have a better chance at getting this fixed by reporting on upstream bugzilla (https://bugzilla.gnome.org). This is most likely a problem with new "client side window" code but I'm 100% unable to reproduce this problem since I first upgrade to gtk+-2.18 branch weeks ago
Comment 3 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-20 22:59:45 UTC
I have also seen this, but only in compiz (in metacity without compositing, everything works fine).
To resolve the issue in compiz, you need to enable "force synchronization between X and GLX" in the workarounds plugin in ccsm.
Comment 4 Alexandre Hannud Abdo 2009-11-26 05:51:09 UTC
Ok, after Alexandre Rostovtsev's comment I tried disabling DRI and everything works fine now.

So this might be my fault for using the raedeonhd driver from git, although I've been using it for ages without a glitch.

However, I'm not running compiz (the ebuild isn't installed).

Is there a way for me to set this "force synchronization
between X and GLX" without compiz?

If you're using xserver-1.7.x, you might be running in to an EXA corruption issue

Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-13 22:55:20 UTC
how is it with gtk+-2.18.5 ?
Comment 7 Alexandre Hannud Abdo 2009-12-15 05:57:30 UTC
After today's updates (gtk, mesa, xserver, radeonhd) everything works fine :]
I guess the issue was solved upstream.
Thanks!
