Screen magnifier does not correctly display overlapping elements (windows, menus, ...)

[Rodrigo Miguel]

Binary package hint: gnome-mag

The problem with the screen magnifier is related to expansion of menus and overlapping Windows.

To simulate the problem, run the command "magnifier -vm", open two windows (Nautilus, Firefox, ...) and try viewing the windows open or navigate the GNOME menu with maximized windows.

To circumvent the problem:: magnifier -vm --ignore-damage
