I updated the description with the workaround instructions on how to reproduce. According to the related branches the apparent fix was merged into Compiz 0.9.8. I have 0.9.9 (raring) and it is not actually fixed. Was the fix removed again from 0.9.8 or is this wrongly marked fix released?
** Description changed: Binary package hint: compiz 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. - Doing shade+unshade, maximizing or clicking away from the problematic - window usually makes the window contents come back. The window remains - responsive to both keyboard and mouse (by the way, in the screenshot the - mouse cursor was an I-beam before I pressed PrtScr). + HOW TO REPRODUCE: + 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 or black depending on the Ubuntu version - This is on up-to-date natty, installed from scratch using the daily - image from the 1st of March. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 - Package: compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu3 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 - Uname: Linux 2.6.38-5-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' - .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" - .proc.driver.nvidia.version: - NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 270.29 Wed Feb 23 16:18:35 PST 2011 - GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-3ubuntu3) - Architecture: amd64 - CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,imgsvg,resize,resizeinfo,mousepoll,wall,regex,animation,place,blur,compiztoolbox,text,session,grid,put,imgpng,imgjpeg,gnomecompat,commands,copytex,wobbly,annotate,move,vpswitch,workarounds,expo,ezoom,staticswitcher,fade,scale,scaleaddon,unityshell] - CompositorRunning: compiz - Date: Sun Mar 6 02:42:49 2011 - DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-03-03 20:05:16.908415 - DistroCodename: natty - DistroVariant: ubuntu - DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 270.29, 2.6.38-5-generic, x86_64: installed - GraphicsCard: - nVidia Corporation ION VGA [GeForce 9400M] [10de:0876] (rev b1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
