eeschema redraw errors under compiz

[Alexander Rice]

Binary package hint: kicad

Eeschema works fine with kwin, but tends to leave 'shadows' of components and the cursor when using compiz.

Using:

Eeschema Build Version:
EESchema (2007-05-25) - Unicode version

Compiz 1:0.6.2

Thanks for your report.

Here is a screenshot of what I see under compiz'

To reproduce it :
Move the cursor fast over the window. Some seconds later, cursor "ghost" will appear.

Try the Stable Release 4.0.2

Reappears in current bionic version, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1768324

[jerico (jerico-dev)]

Can be solved by upgrading to the latest ppa version:
sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-4
sudo apt update
sudo apt install kicad

Is it possible for one of the package maintainers to package the PPA version instead?

[jerico (jerico-dev)]

This package has been built against the wrong version of wxWidgets (see the comment in https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1768324) which renders it totally unusable in Ubuntu Bionic.

Would be great if one of the Ubuntu Universe package maintainers could fix this. Seems like it shouldn't a big issue...
