Compiz window decorations not rendered correctly

[Jussi Lind]

Binary package hint: compiz

It seems that the window decorations of large windows (e.g. Firefox) are being rendered incorrectly or not at all (only a white background of e.g. the titlebar is shown). Small windows like gnome-terminal behaves correctly most of the time. This bug came up after upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid. Everything was fine on Hardy with the same hardware. I have attached a screenshot about this.

My graphics chipset pasted from lspci's listing:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (rev a1)

Edit: I can trigger the bug by opening two windows and toggling quickly the focus between them with "focus follows mouse" set. Then at some point one of the title bars is rendered with weird glitches, but it gets back to normal when I proceed. This does not happen with all windows. Annoying :)

Same issue here. nvidia 7900 GS. I'm mainly seeing the corrupted title bar like in the decoration_bug2.png.

Same problem encountered here on Gnome 2.24.1 under Ubuntu 8.1. I'm using a Nvidia 260 GTX GPU card. Any more info required, happy to provide - email me.

For reference, lspci output ...

I'm having the same problem here on current Intrepid x86_64.
