transmission screen goes blank

[Kim d'Audretsch]

After fiddling around with transmission the screen it goes blank (resizing etc..) . Could also due to compiz or nvidia driver. But I do not experience these problems with other programs.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
Codename: intrepid

kim@athena:~$ dpkg -l |grep transmission
ii transmission-common 1.33-0ubuntu1 free, lightweight BitTorrent client
ii transmission-gtk 1.33-0ubuntu1 free, lightweight BitTorrent client (graphic

I have the same problem, and i don't run any nvidia driver may be due to compiz (no screen effect on the system)

Since this has been nominated for a release, here is a backport to 1.34 of the upstream fix that's in 1.40.

[Hew (hew)]

It's been nominated for Hardy but has not been accepted. Waiting for the fix in 1.40 with Jaunty should be fine; I don't think this would qualify for a Hardy SRU - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

That's fine with me, too.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package transmission - 1.40-0ubuntu1
