I have marked bug #57466 as a duplicate of this one, and I'm editing the description. I don't think this bug affects firefox, so removing that - but it has been marked as confirmed for firefox - so if someone disagrees, pls let us know.
** Summary changed: - Strange artifacts in text fields within web applications when moving cursor with keyboard + Strange artifacts in text fields within gtk applications in X when using nv driver ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: firefox + Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-nv When editing a text field in a web application, e.g. this window on launchpad or a message in gmail and one moves the cursor with the keyboard, a cursor is drawn between every character and only disappears after several seconds. This does not happen in firefox on windows or on my Powerbook running Dapper PPC. I'm not sure whether this is a firefox problem or Xorg's graphics rendering. This machine has an on-board video adapter and I don't think hardware acceleration supported by Linux on this adapter (although I'm not sure how to check). Device Manager says: Vendor: nVidia Corporation Product: Unknown (0x0163) If you'd like to see what I mean by the artifacts, check this screenshot: http://maanskyn.za.net/firefox.png -- Strange artifacts in text fields within gtk applications in X when using nv driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
