window contents don't refresh until window is clicked

[wastrel]

Binary package hint: compiz

Intrepid, running compiz and NewHuman theme.

Sometimes some windows don't refresh properly. Seeing this currently in Firefox and in gnome-terminal running screen & irssi. Hitting keyboard commands that should change the window contents results in partial redrawing but not a full window refresh. For example, pagedown in Firefox will redraw part of the window but the rest is unchanged. Clicking on the window causes the window to refresh.

compiz version 1:0.7.8-0ubuntu1

Same problem since the last upgrade yesterday (intrepid beta), while it works quite fine before, just some very small glitches on the systray for example in hardy.
Firefox is unusable with this problem.

It happens when --loose-bindings is enabled in compiz (which is the default if the card is nvidia).
If I disable --loose-bindings :

/usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --replace core ccp
instead of
/usr/bin/compiz.real --ignore-desktop-hints --replace --loose-binding --replace core ccp

there is no problem (except of course compiz effects are far slower).

"while it works quite fine before" → "while it workED quite fine before" :)

I think this problem should have a priority major or critical, the system is unusable.

Same problem for me. Windows don't refresh untill click in the title bar.
Intrepid ibex beta 64bit, Nvidia 9600M GS, Nvidia accelerated graphics driver 177, compiz

Same here!
Nvidia 8600 GT, Driver 177, Intrepid 32 bit.

The only solution for me is to use XGL.
