Screen flickers in Inkscape's full screen mode

[Ananth P]

Inkscape has no issues normally. When I am in full screen mode, I noticed the following problems:

1. Clicking the menu bar makes the opened document to re-draw or flicker.
2. Hovering the mouse pointer over a button makes things worse. The screen keeps on flickering.

If the mouse pointer is within the document, there is no problem.

This problem is not seen with other applications.

I am using

Samsung SyncMaster 2233sw.
nVidia GeForce 8400 GS rev 161
Resolution 1920x1080.
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180).

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Yes. You gave us some good details, but forgot to mention which OS you are running on. OS X? Linux? XP? Vista? 32 or 64 bit?

Thanks

This is an issue with compiz, when it tries to show tooltip in full screen mode. It is not inkscape issue. Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 for details.

So my statement was incorrect that I didn't see this problem in other applications. I think I only checked on buttons which don't have tool tip (e.g. leave full screen)

By the way sorry for not giving much details. When I used launch pad I assumed that ubuntu linux is understood. It is 32 bit. Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04
