[Hardy 8.04 alpha-2 compiz] I have similar but not exactly same behavior. Installed version of compiz is 1:0.6.99+git20080102-0ubuntu1 and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-2-386, which are the latest available. Ubuntu is "up-to-date" i386 version. Running "Normal" effects with nVidia restricted driver, the latest new version added to Ubuntu repository yesterday. When I mouse over the controls (minimize,maximize,X) on title bar of a maximized window, a grey bar appears across the top of the title bar sometimes. It seems to be random. It never happens when the same window is un-maximized. Sometimes consecutive mouse-overs do it; sometimes not until 5 to 10 mouse-overs. Mousing over the title bar itself doesn't do it. The grey bar obscures the title bar and its controls all the way from left to right. Sometimes it's a few pixels high; sometimes half of the height of the title bar. My desktop background is the leather image, which is dark brown, so I'm sure the grey bar is not simply disappearance of the top portion of the title bar. If it just disappeared, I would see my desktop background, but I see grey instead. The grey has a vertical gradient, dark at top and lighter below, as though it is a shadow border of the top panel. I notice that the grey is not uniform height all across. It is wider on the left and tapers to narrower on the right.
It may be helpful if all of the bug reporters on this bug include in their comments the type of graphics processor they have so we can see if it only occurs on nVidia graphics. My computer has nVidia GeForce FX 5500. -- Title bars on windows disappear every 7 times the title bar text changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
