Title:
  Clipping in libreoffice welcome screen

Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
  Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Minor but noticeable cosmetic issue in the welcome screen for libreoffice.  
Caused by a regression in UXA compositing.  When launching LibreOffice, a 
welcome panel is displayed.  On Intel video drivers the left and right edges of 
this window are unpainted.  See attached screenshot.

  [Development Fix]
  Fixed upstream and in precise with patch 103_fix_uxa_fill_spans.patch to the 
2D X driver.

  [Stable Fix]
  The same patch applies without change to oneiric, and is being proposed here.

  [Text Case]
  1. Open LibreOffice (any component).
  Broken Behavior: Welcome screen looks clipped with some portions unpainted
  Fixed Behavior: Normal welcome screen displayed

  [Regression Potential]
  We've been carrying this patch without issue for several months now.  The fix 
was also pretty straightforward.  I'd say even though this is a cosmetic issue, 
the fix has proven to be quite safe.  We've had a number of reports against 
oneiric about this so it seems to be sufficiently annoying that it's going to 
be worth getting fixed.

  [Original Report]
  When launching LibreOffice, a welcome panel is displayed.  On Intel video 
drivers the left and right edges of this window are unpainted.  See attached 
screenshot.

  Michael Stahl (RedHat) originally found this issue (found in Fedora
  16), and did some further analysis:

  < mst_> we set up a clipping region with XSetRegion that has 4 rects
  < mst_> then we paint about 40 polygons for the gradient, covering the entire 
window
  < mst_> but somehow only the stuff that lands in the first of the 4 clipping 
rects actually shows up
  < mst_> so i have a gradient along the top of the window, but other 3 borders 
are un-painted (very ugly)
  < mst_> as i already mentioned earlier today just removing the clipping lets 
whole window be painted
  < mst_> actually it is broken in LO 3.4, master, AOOo 3.4, havent tried 
anything older
  < mst_> could it be it's an X problem?
  < mst_> am running on F16 which is probably some bleeding edge stuff
  < mst_> if i start it in Xephyr i get all gradients
