Bug Description
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new
With twin-view enabled and the external monitor set to the right of the main monitor via nvidia-settings, the region at the top of the monitor is not updated properly unless I run a window in full-screen mode.
The region of the window not being updated is the part corresponding to the gnome-panel on the main monitor, ie where gnome-panel would normally get drawn. This region only gets redrawn by the compiz special effects or when a window is maximized, so for example:
a) I maximize window - it fills the monitor's display, with the title bar at the top
b) I switch to another window - the title bar of the first window in the external monitor changes colour
c) I open, close, send windows to the task bar etc. The title bar of the first window gets overdrawn with the compiz special effects, so it appears corrupted. It doesn't get redrawn even if I switch focus back to this window.
Version info:
Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-17.31
nvida-glx-new 169.12+
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.1~
This issue seems to have been fixed in the nvidia driver v173.14.05 (I downloaded the installer from the nvidia website).
