[Arrandale] remnants of window getting left behind when apps quit

[Robert Collins]

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm using natty classic mode w/o effects on an intel x201 (arrandale) and I'm getting remains-of-windows-left-behind
so a program closes and its border is left behind on my xterm

12:45 < bryce> 777447 775936 782855 768587 622068
12:46 < bryce> none of those are good matches, but those are the corruption bugs I know of
12:49 < bryce> 745112 and 754799 are the arrandale bugs on my list to look at

Needs screenshot

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Bryce asked for more details. Basically this just happens from time to time, I don't have a particular test case to make it happen. It started the moment I upgraded to oneiric on this machine.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

09:54 < bryce> lifeless, anything else you can provide? bug's non-actionable right now I'm afraid
09:54 < lifeless> more screenshots ?
09:54 < bryce> sure
09:54 < lifeless> there -may- be a correlation with uxterm
09:55 < lifeless> I haven't been terribly rigorous with my data gathering
09:55 < bryce> I can upstream it... but to be honest most bugs like this that are just described as "random screen corruption" don't tend to go anywhere
09:55 < lifeless> it -always- seems to be the borders of the windows
09:55 < bryce> ok
09:56 < lifeless> specifically I think its the bit that metacity(?) makes into a white-black-white bounding box when you hit alt-tab
09:56 < bryce> you could also try describing what happens after. E.g. some of these bugs you move a window and it redraws. Other times the corruption is "permanent" or "mostly permanent", or goes away on vt switch
09:57 < lifeless> dropping a window on top of the remnants replaces them and then its fine for a while
09:57 < bryce> there was one (which I've reproduced) which would correct itself if metacity was restarted (thinking that one might be a metacity bug... I can't seem to find it in Launchpad anymore though)

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

Every time I said oneiric above, ready natty. My Bad.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

At this point I have not tested different wm's. Will do so.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This bit looks interesting:

"""
** (<unknown>:19384): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:
        /home/robertc/.themes/TheBlues-gtk2-Saphire/gtk-2.0/trough.png,
borders don't fit within the image
... (bunch of GtkPixbuf-CRITICAL errors)
** (<unknown>:19384): WARNING **: Pixbuf theme: Cannot load pixmap file /home/robertc/.themes/TheBlues-gtk2-Saphire/gtk-2.0/in.png: Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-png.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
"""

ring any bells what that could be talking about? Sort of sounds like there's a custom theme installed that has invalid border dimensions or something.

[Robert Collins (lifeless)]

I set a sapphire theme back in 2007 (it was packaged in Ubuntu) or so and haven't changed the theme setting since; I'm pretty sure the engine went away though.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Well, even if it's unrelated to the bug, still looks crufty. No real use keeping broken stuff in your boot process. Might clean that up (move aside ~/.themes I guess?) and just verify the problem still occurs.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Anyway, like other corruption bugs this one may be yet another instance of the 3d pipeline optimization problem, fixed in the upstream -intel ddx driver.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Since I didn't hear back, I duped the bug optimistically assuming it is indeed the same problem.

I've stuck in a sru of the fix to natty-proposed. I don't know if it'll go through and get accepted as an sru ultimately. But you might pull it and just test it to see if it does indeed fix your bug. The fix is in oneiric too, so if you prefer upgrading you can get it that way.

If you find the bug still occurs on oneiric, please reopen.
