minimized boinc-manager window empty after boinc-client start

[Stefan Helmert]

If I have the boinc-manager window minimized and start the boinc-client, the boinc-manager window is completely empty (gray), no control elements are shown. This doesn not happen, if I stop the boinc-client while the boinc-manager is minimized. It gets also updated after restart of boinc-client or boinc-manager.

Please try this ppa and boinc 7.8.1, and let me know if the problem still occurs

Problem still occurs with your ppa on ubuntu. But on debian testing everything is fine.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Interesting, not sure why I can't reproduce, maybe because I run zesty right now...

@LocutusOfBorg (costamagnagianfranco):

Do you use the unity desktop + nvidia bumblebee?

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

No unity, no nvidia
