gnome menu and other over window corrupted

[Francesco Usseglio]

Binary package hint: xorg

Sometimes, when i open gnome "applications" menu (especially when in the sub menus there are a lot of icons) the menu takes some time to draw and if i don't wait the full draw the over impression of the menu remains even after i have closed the menu.
It happens also with tooltips. The problem happen also with other applications

I have attached a screenshot of the problem: as you can see the gnome applications menu has left a square "hole" and it is over every windows on the desktop.

The "hole" goes away if i close the application had made it or if i try to force the redraw the application (like going again on the same sub menus)

Last week I have update fglrx to new amd version 10.11:

[fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.79.4 [Oct 26 2010] with 1 minors

The problem now appears less often but still sometimes some "square" of menus and tooltips remains but now i'm used to so i know how to clear them

Hey Cecco,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
