Comment 92 for bug 729979

@ Matthias

You are totally correct. This bug still exists.

Clint may not be experiencing it, but 'vanilla-compiz' built yesterday, still exhibits this bug on my machine.

As a side note, switching workspaces and then switching back to the workspace where the black windows was originally, also fixes the window contents. (so resizing/maximizing it isn't the only way(s) to fix it).

It's interesting though, this bug has existed for a very long time and even with so many users affected, there seems to be no progress made on fixing it.... SO! in the hopes of maybe doing something about this ~ or at least getting the ball rolling, and maybe having someone from nvidia actually be aware of the problem, i have started a thread in the _new_ official nvidia forums.

The new nvidia forum (for linux) is found here;

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/523298/linux/nvidia-driver-fails-to-draw-window-contents-properly-with-compiz-and-or-unity-white-or-black-window/

Could every single person following this bug report please head over there, sign up (for the nvidia forums) and add your voice to my thread over there, on this bug??? I have provided nVidia with a link to this bug report, so hopefully Plagman (or someone else from nvidia) will take some time to look into this (since it appears to be an nvidia bug) and hopefully fix it.

thanks :)
