screenshot (recreated) of drawing glitch
This is an old X.org bug: bug 177959 / bug 173686. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 177959 *** This is clearly a Xorg bug, I was able to write a xlib-only testcas (as I was asked for), but then nothing happend. If you want this bug fixed, please vote for it and make some polite noise at: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22566 |
Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages * Bug Description * When a plasma notification or pop-up (such as when hovering the mouse over taskbar entries) appears, it will sometimes create a "hole" in a window elsewhere on the screen. The "hole" appears as a section the size of the notification/pop-up cut out of a window (in other words, you can see the wallpaper through it). The hole will remain there until something causes it to redraw that section of the screen. It's kind-of hard to explain the appearance of this bug, so in lieu of a thousand words, please see the screenshot. * Reproduction * I have yet to be able to reproduce this with any kind of consistency; it seems to happen rather randomly. The only thing I know for sure is that it does not happen with desktop effects enabled. * Other Notes * The screenshot has been manufactured, since I have been unable to capture this phenomenon in action. * My System * Motherboard: MSI K9N SLI Platinum (nForce 570 SLI chipset) CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ RAM: 2GB DDR2 Video: Dell NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX w/ 256 MB RAM (PCI Express) OS: Kubuntu 9.04 i386 (with KDE 4.3.1) Linux Kernel: 2.6.30-020630-generic NVIDIA driver: 185.18.14 X.org: 7.4 * My custom xorg.conf settings * Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "TwinView" "false" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true" Option "DynamicTwinView" "false" Option "UseEvents" "false" Option "TripleBuffer" "1" Option "DamageEvents" "1" Option "BackingStore" "1" Option "PixmapCacheSize" "70000" Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "true"
