Title:
Dropdown menus occasionally do not show
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Using both Metacity with Compositing and Compiz, occasionally a
dropdown menu does not get rendered. There is a workaround for each
window manager: Metacity with Compositing disabled does not show the
behavior described above, nor does Compiz with "Sync to VBlank"
disabled.
After resetting all settings I could think of (both xorg.conf and
~/.nvidia-settings-rc) this led me to the conclusion that compositing
is, while not completely broken, at least flawed with the latest
nvidia-current. I would be happy to provide any information that might
be helpful, but cannot think of any logs, but if there is anything,
let me know.
edit: Forgot to mention that this did not occur with 10.04 and the
256-series of the nvidia-driver. Upgrading to the nvidia-current
version from x-swat (at the time of writing 260.19.12-0ubuntu1~xup2)
does not fix the problem described above.
