Openoffice doesn't work properly with xgl.

[agostinomaurotto]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I installed the last ubuntu updating from feisty
also installed xgl since my card is not supported with the aiglx driver, i have a geforce 2 mx400
xgl works decently, alot of glitches, fullscreen games not working, but that's fine..
the real problem is that openoffice doesn't work properly under xgl:
trying to open openoffice with compiz on results on a fullscreen window that redraws continuosly whenever u try to open a menu
or click an icon
trying to open openoffice w/o compiz but still with xgl results in very slow operation, alot of redraws, and part of text disappearing and reappearing when scrolling..

Openoffice is totally unusable with this behavious

Does upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10 OpenOffice 2.3.0 fix the problem for you?

Thanks,

I don't know if it is somehow related, but some windows (e.g.: confirmations and customize box) keep showing in full screen and cannot be resized. Any clue?

I also have this problem on Gutsy / AMD64 / Nvidia / Compiz + Beryl...

OpenOffice 2.3 doesn't seem to be contained in window manager - full screen no borders... and clicking on a menu makes the screen flicker and the menu deactivate...

I solved in this way:
1) press Ctrl+Shift+J once for full screen;
2) press Ctrl+Shift+J another time to get normal windows with decoration (for me, I hope for you too).

xserver-xgl has been deprecated upstream, and removed from Intrepid. Closing the bug as won't fix.
