I can confirm this problem. Observation showed me that it only happens with GIMP. Haven't seen another application behaving like this. Only tooltips and window borders like to crash and leave their shadow behind. When i restart the compiz window decoration plugin, the screen gets "clean" again. So it has only to do with this plugin.
My specs are ATI Radeon X1600, fglrx and Gnome with Xgl. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- compiz leaves shadow outlines behind menu / tooltip objects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144703 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
