Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
Whenever a pulldown menu is activated (i dont know the right word here)
the screen flickers and the menu does not work. Sometime the entire
screen is filled with garbage momentarily. Other times a large diagonal
bar flickers over the entire screen. REPRODUCE: use the firefox search
bar to search for a couple of words starting with "aa". Then move into
the search box and type an a and possibly arrow down key. this should
pop up a list of previous search terms, but instead just causes
flickering and strangeness. by moving the window out of fullscreen mode
(into maximized state only, for example) everything works nicely.
This is gutsy, updated/upgraded via apt-get yesterday, running on a
lenovo thinkpad x60 w/intel 945 graphics. OpenGL programs work nicely
on this machine, with compiz they are somewhat slower. I run the normal
X server, not Xgl, since when I enable Xgl everything except panning
between workspaces gets very slow (wobbling, for instance).
I have enabled "extra" desktop effects - wobbling, panning workspace
switching (not the cube). I run many workspaces and switch between them
with ctrl-f1, ctrl-f2 etc.
I usually dedicate some workspaces to running applications in full-
screen (not maximized, but full-screen) mode - an xterm for irc on one
workspace, a fullscreen firefox on another, etc. Normally I have a
desktop shortcut (shift-ctrl-enter) to toggle fullscreen, so i use it a
lot.
