After upgrading to SL6.7, I see strange behavior with some
graphical applications, in that the contents of windows are lost
or change color from what they should be. For example, with
ImageMagick, if I bring up the main menu, select a smaller
submenu (e.g. Image Edit), do some things with this menu (e.g.
change some colors in the image being viewed), and dismiss the
submenu, the main menu is only partially displayed; the section
which extends beyond where the submenu was has lost its contents
and become just an empty frame. With another application a file
selection window appears in strange colors. I suspect a problem
with libX11, but it could be something to do with a window
manager. I am running the Gnome desktop. Any ideas?
I think it's the same problem as we had with
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36 and Ferret/R etc.
I posted a message here at 16.09.2015 with subject :
"rePost : SL6.7 problem with ferret/R and
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36" about this problem.
For the moment
a) the solution is a downgrade to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-26
b) we know that the problem is that "updated Xorg server does
not send the initial "expose" events" (thanks to Konstantin
Olchanski)
c) And we know that the problem comes from 1.15.0-32 update (Fix
backing store's Always mode).
I sent a mail to Adam Jackson ([email protected]) the person who
applied the 1.15.0-32 version...
But I have absolutely no reply from him... :-(
Thanks,
