Comment 116 for bug 729979

@Alistair Buxton: I'm really confused reading your last comments. What exact version of compiz are you using and which versions of the nvidia binary drivers?

I am able to reproduce this with four different nvidia graphic adapters (two mobile and two desktops) on 12.04 AND 12.10. I didn't test *all* driver combinations. All computers use nvidia-current except for my main desktop where I use nvidia-experimental-310 (and where I have used all other combinations of drivers and OS).

I can reproduce the bug on every Ubuntu-machine (with nvidia graphics) since 12.04 using the steps mentioned above resulting in white and black windows respectively.

So for users encountering this, Ubuntu seems to be broken. Nvidia is one of the most popular graphic chipsets. This bug should be the one most worked on, I believe. I can't find a launchpad branch linked to this bug, though. So is anyone working on this? Do you (whoever you are) need help working on this bug? What needs to be done?
