N.B., this isn't triggered with a full-width panel. ** Summary changed:
- windows stop redrawing after some time + windows and panels stop redrawing ** Description changed: - After leaving things alone for a while, the panel and some windows will - stop redrawing in compiz. This presented itself as nm-applet failing to - show changing networks status, but seems to be a more general - phenomenon. I've not yet found any way to reliably reproduce it, but it - does seem to happen fairly often under extended use. + Under some conditions, certain windows and panels will stop being + redrawn while using compiz. This persists until they are moved around or + minimized/restored. This is particularly bad with panels---while it + rapidly becomes apparent that an application has stopped visually + responding, there is usually no obvious sign at all that the panel has + stopped updating, resulting in reading the wrong time or in thinking + that panel applets are in a different state from reality. + + One way to reliably reproduce this bug (as shown in the attached video) + is to, while connected to a wireless network, with applets in a non + –full-width panel, use nm-applet to initiate a connection to another + network. This causes the panel to stop responding, as well as certain + windows (observed with a full-screen Firefox window.) -- windows and panels stop redrawing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
