[Bug 1503310] Re: window content doesn't refresh, only if window is moved
With some help I meanwhile upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the bug doesn't seem to appear there, even though the nvidia driver version is the same (I tried "Ubuntu" and "Gnome fallback Compiz"). Does that help in localizing the problem for people still using 12.04 LTS? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503310 Title: window content doesn't refresh, only if window is moved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1503310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1503310] Re: window content doesn't refresh, only if window is moved
Just an addition: The bug shows similarities to this one, although it was only reported for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194358 Users report that compiz may cause the problems, and that would explain why the problem isn't present when using "Gnome Classic (no effects)" as compiz is not running there (but metacity). So maybe the problem is compiz, not the nvidia driver? ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1194358 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194358 ** Also affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1503310 Title: window content doesn't refresh, only if window is moved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1503310/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1503310] [NEW] window content doesn't refresh, only if window is moved
Public bug reported:
I suppose this is a bug with the nvidia driver, but I'm not sure. After
the second-to-last routine software update (which I think updated the
nvidia driver), changing window content is only refreshed if the window
is moved.
Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, kernel 3.2.0-91-generic,
NVidia driver installed: 340.93-0ubuntu0.0.0.1,
Thinkpad laptop with nvidia graphics card (see below),
Window manager: Gnome Classic
How to reproduce the bug: Log in under Gnome Classic. Open Gnome
terminal. Execute some command (ls). Open new tab in terminal. Execute
some other command (ps), just to have different tab contents. Switch
back and forth between the tabs using the mouse. After some switches,
neither the tab rider is activated nor the tab content is refreshed any
longer. Only if you move the window, the tab rider gets activated and
the tab content is refreshed. The same problem occurs in other
applications (e.g. in thunderbird when selecting an email --- email list
entry is not marked and email content is not shown, only if you move the
window), so it is not application-specific.
The bug disappears when using the window manager "Gnome Classic (no
effects)" instead (which is "non-compositing" in contrast to "Gnome
Classic"). The bug is also present in other window magagers ("Ubuntu").
Side remark: I tried but failed to switch back to an earlier version of
the nvidia driver (from 340 to 331) using synaptic: When deinstalling
340 and installing 331 instead, synaptic complains that it depends on
340. So I can only guess that the bug is caused by the nvidia driver.
Any help would be highly appreciated as the bug is really annoying.

[Bug 1308511] Re: rotation of compound objects fails
I'm aware that you cannot rotate compounds which INCLUDE an object that cannot be rotated by arbitrary angles; this is probably what you refer to, but it is NOT the problem. The problem is that you CAN rotate the compound if it stands alone, but as soon as an object OUTSIDE this compound is drawn which cannot be rotated by arbitrary angles, rotation of the rotatable compound suddenly also fails. To me it looks as if a check goes wrong: Rotation should check whether the compound to be rotated contains a component which cannot be rotated by arbitrary angles. What happens is that somehow other objects outside the compound that should be rotated are checked on whether they are rotatable by arbitrary angles. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308511 Title: rotation of compound objects fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfig/+bug/1308511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1308511] [NEW] rotation of compound objects fails
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS xfig: 3.2.5.b-2ubuntu1 In xfig 3.2.5b, the rotation of compound objects by angles different from multiples of 90 deg fails if another object is present which cannot be rotated for the given angle. The bug can (hopefully) be reproduced as follows: 1. Draw an object which can be rotated by arbitrary angles, e.g. a polyline. 2. Select rotation angle different from multiples of 90 deg, e.g. 15 deg. 3. Rotate object - works. 4. Draw second rotatable object, e.g. also a polyline. 5. Glue both objects into a compound object. 6. Rotate by 15 deg - works. 7. Draw a third object which cannot be rotated by arbitrary angles, e.g. a box. 8. Try to rotate the compound (containing the two polylines) by 15 deg - ***FAILS***! 9. Delete box object. 10. Try to rotate the compound - works. Rotation of the compound only works for multiples of 90 deg, if the box is present. ** Affects: xfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308511 Title: rotation of compound objects fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfig/+bug/1308511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
