Empty window content

[Diogo Domanski de Souza]

Binary package hint: xorg

Whenever more than one window are open, depending on their dimensions, their content are not shown. The best way to reproduce this issue is to open more than one application and maximize all opened windows. After the second or third window is opened and maximized, the content is not visible anymore.

One way to get the content visible is to minimize all windows and maximize only the window that one wish to view its content.

this sound very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/753144.
are you sure you are using the nouveau driver and not the nvidia driver?

[Diogo Domanski de Souza (diogo-ebecom)]

izar, you are right. I'm using nvidia driver.

Hey diogo-domanski,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

I updated to Ubuntu 11.10 and changed my laptop to one with ATI video card. I cannot reproduce the error anymore.
