Hmmm, I just found that if I resize the xdvi window then the dvi file is suddenly displayed and all is well. The initial problem seems to occur regardless of the initial window geometry, and is fixed by resizing. Just moving the window does not do the trick.
Interestingly, if I click on the window without resizing, the "magnifying glass" feature of xdvi does work to display a portion of the page magnified, even though the page itself is not displayed. -- xdvi fails to work with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157199 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
