So any chance this fix will also make it into newer versions of Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729979
Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series: In Progress Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in compiz source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in compiz source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] When switching focus from one window to another, the target window may become blank. See the attached screenshot, where I opened two gnome- terminals and clicked on their titlebars alternately - the issue was triggered after about 5-10 clicks. I've had this happen on other appications too, e.g. software-centre, empathy, etc. HOW TO REPRODUCE: [ Test Case ] Verification requires an nVidia GPU with proprietary drivers. The problem can not reliably be reproduced at will, only after some time (depending on resident GPU memory and usage) and even then only randomly. 1. Minimize a window 2. Initiate Scale and deactivate it again (press Super+W to show all windows and then press it again to go back to normal) 3. Click the window icon on the launcher to maximize it again. 4. The window contents will be white, black, or transparent depending on the Ubuntu version [ Regression Potential ] It is unlikely this change has the potential to introduce new regressions. [ Other Info ] Fix was cherry-picked from the Ubuntu "Vivid Vervet" dev relase where it has been in use for some weeks without problem.
