process list distorted

[scamper]

Binary package hint: gnome-system-monitor

When scrolling the process list, the entries are distorted. If I leave it for a while (30 seconds) or do something to cause a refresh, it corrects itself.
This must be a recent change as it has never happened before. I am running Hardy Heron.

I have included a screen capture of how it looks. It is a lot worse than what is captured, as I think the screen cap caused a partial refresh.

1)cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

2)gnome-system-monitor
3)System Monitor 2.22.0
4) I expect the process list to display and scroll correctly.
5). I get some distortion when scrolling and it stays after you stop scrolling for a while. I mean, it's not distorted only while scrolling. The effect stays after you stop scrolling as well. A refresh, such as moving your mouse over the entry clears up that entry...

I'm having the same problem. I attached an image as well.

Thanks for your report, are you facing this bug 194953 too ? it looks pretty similar, thanks.

I use compiz, with the "resize window" plugin, so I hadn't noticed that, but disabling compiz shows that indeed the resources graphs are unstable.
