2006-06-21 05:10:39 Matthew Paul Thomas description Sometime in the past week, in my Dapper installation (with all updates applied), the display has stopped working properly, even after restarting. Symptoms: * Areas that are supposed to be moved from one part of the screen to another are not: dragging a window causes the window to mostly disappear, and scrolling anything (whether a Web page, or a GTK+ listbox) draws only the newly-revealed area without scrolling the rest. * The caret is invisible in Gecko/XUL text fields, but visible in GTK+ ones. * Panel applets, and Internet Explorer under Wine, both draw their buttons and other chrome without clearing the background underneath, for an interesting layered effect. These problems combine to make development near-impossible; I can't see what I'm writing. I just installed updates from the past six days to my Dapper installation (with all updates applied), and the display has stopped working properly, even after restarting.
