I've actually stopped using compiz (because of this bug and othera), but after reading Sam's blog about the very recent improvements (like fixing window moving, performance improvements) i decided to try the latest code (rev3530 lp:compiz). this bug still persists and through a conversation in the phoronix forum, i made a quick screencast (youtube) to post;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FNMTbFlTj4 obviously, it has been pointed out that at least some users see this bug is 'black' not white (in recent times). Anyway, the bug is 100% predictable (since i repeat exposing it a few times, easily), but since it ruins my workflow (ie: an app sometimes may be minimized) and since i use the scale plugin with my stylus (wacom), compiz becomes unusable, unless/without disabling minimize/unminimize animations, with the exception of 'fade' - i think(?)... @ alister : "I have tested packages released in -main, -updates, -proposed, preview PPAs, and source builds. I have spent well over 1000 hours testing different compiz packages. I have been testing for this bug since I noticed it two days after installing 11.04." None of that matters (and sort of seems like a waste of time, imo), since the bug is in lp:compiz (and 0.9.7 branch before that, etc) which means it will be in ALL of those repos/packages... Maybe the fixes from comment #88 did help you, but THIS bug is still open aka: not fixed. anyway, apparently bzr does do bisecting, so if one was willing to put a boat load of effort in, you _might_ be able to find the regression. I may look at it over the holidays, we will see but i have a feeling it would be hard to find, as compiz seems to have been a bit of a rocky road in it's development. (i have a feeling git bisect is a better tool, as well, over bzr's bisect) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
