You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Many "3D" screen savers render in full screen preview such that objects
expected to be behind other objects are rendered frontmost. This does not
apply anywhere else. To reproduce:
1)System-->Preferences-->Screensaver
2)Select a 3D screen saver (I have "lattice" and "endgame," but there are many
others that I have as well, all broken)
3)Press "preview"
4)When starting the screen saver manually through "lock screen" or naturally,
there will be no problem
Not sure if this is dependent.
May be dependent upon having the following graphics controller:
Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
Note: some of the comments may not make sense with this edit, so here's
the last version summary: lattice screensaver fullscreen preview draws
close objects behind far objects, and its description: It always appears
as doughnuts in the preview, but not when I use "lock screen". It looks
like this in the preview, but there's no problem in the screensaver
itself and this is only in the fullscreen version. I do not know if
this can be reproduced easily. Here is a screenshot (attatched in
first comment). This is in feisty fawn (7.04).
