Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Certain windows contents, when resized above a certain size, or
maximised are not drawn, and instead the window appears black, with
normal decorations around it.

I have observed this behaviour in both evince and firefox.

The window contents appear when the window is resized to a smaller size,
below what appears to be a certain threshold.

This behaviour does not occur when I use metacity.

I am running Karmic.
