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
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)"
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,

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
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.
