Comment 17 for bug 197163

I can also confirm this on Hardy with Mathematica 6.0.2, and also reiterate that it worked without problem on Gutsy (why oh why did I upgrade?).

Anyway, I also noticed that one can instead of using -defualtvisual, you can also disable the Double Buffer option in Notebook Options >> Private Notebook Options, but I don't think this is an improvement.

It would be interesting to hear also what hardware this happens on. I am using a Intel X3100 graphics on a 965 mobile chipset.
