Bug Description

In an up to date (20 Sept) Oneiric beta, none of the "see more results" tags in the dash actually display the icons. I see the same behaviour in
- the app lens with the "see more results" tag on the apps available for download (e.g,. "see 43 more results", but when clicked, no icons displayed)
- the file lens with the "see more results" tag on the "recently downloaded" section (e.g,. "see 29 more results, but when clicked, no icons displayed)

In all cases, the scroll bar behaves as expected (i.e., it shows up), so the results seem to be known, just not displayed.

It must be HW specific, since this is working well on my rather old ATI/radeon.

@Jay: can you inspect the Mesa configuration and HW reference.

Does the text for the icons show up? What happens when you mouse over?

It doesn't look like a Mesa issue. All the GPU systems are rendering correctly recently. Also more things wouldn't show it it was a Mesa related issue.
Is it possible to have a screenshot of the issue?

Text for the icons doesn't show up. Nothing happens if you mouseover. However, if I click in the big open space, it react as if the icon were there (i.e,. launch the Software Center for that app).

Screenshots attached. One shows the "See 44 more" tag, the other shows what happens when clicking on that tag (which also shows the scrollbar, so the dash knows about the apps, just doesn't render the icons).

If the scrollbar shows up but the icons are not visible, there is the possibility that the model hasn't loaded all the icons. There is an asynchronous process going in that case.

David Barth (dbarth) wrote :

Further analysis shows that the bug cannot be reproduced on a similar HW (Jay has the same GPU available in his lab).

This hypothesis is further confirmed by the existence of this other bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/dee/+bug/840758 related to asynchronous results causing crashes in Unity.

Combining the 2 elements, it looks like Gord's fix could apply to your particular problem: https://code.launchpad.net/~gordallott/unity/fix-music-lens-causing-crashers/+merge/76761

Please look for the next point release upload on Monday.

I have a similar system. Mine is an intel core i3 while the bug was reported on a core i5 CPU. Both CPUs have the same GPU. I
cannot reproduce the issue so we can rule out a graphics or driver issue.

The issue could be related to the dee model as mentioned in #9.

Could you upgrade and verify whether the issue is still reproducible? Thanks

Updated today (27 Sept) and the issue still happens. No change in behaviour from original bug report.

When there is nothing in the search entry, what is the behavior? Are icons still hidden when you click to see more results?

Neil J. Patel (njpatel) wrote :

Hi Jane, do the icons/text appear if you scroll (either via grabbing the scrollbar or mouse-wheel)?

Also, I'm in Millbank all next week if we can't figure it out for this week's release, and seems to be something that is going to be easier to debug in front of the offending computer :)

Okay, I can reproduce this easily by switching to a vertical monitor setup (with the dash/launcher on the bottom monitor) and then following Jane's instructions. Seems like there is a maths error somewhere between Abs Geo and normal Geo.
