Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
When using software rendering on Xorg (so usually just in VMs), some parts of app windows may fail to redraw. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2880 [ Test Plan ] TODO: Figure out a minimal test plan that doesn't require modifying code. [ Where problems could occur ] The fix adds a new synchronization point between the compositor and X server. This should be inconsequential, although there is a "sync ring" in mutter used for this, and if a mistake occurs there then other parts of the desktop could appear to stop responding in Xorg sessions. [ Other Info ] This is a regression that started in 3.37.3 via 551101c65cda. ** Affects: mutter Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: Fix Committed ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Medium Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: Triaged ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Medium Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: Triaged ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Medium Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: Fix Committed ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues #2880 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2880 ** Also affects: mutter via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2880 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu Mantic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Medium Assignee: Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) Status: Fix Committed ** Description changed: [ Impact ] When using software rendering on Xorg (so usually just in VMs), some parts of app windows may fail to redraw. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2880 [ Test Plan ] TODO: Figure out a minimal test plan that doesn't require modifying code.
