[Bug 712308] [NEW] Emacs visual glitches when running under compiz in natty

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

When running emacs23 under natty’s compiz, there are rampant visual
glitches that interfere with normal editing.  For example, deleted
characters sometimes don’t disappear or cause another character on the
line to appear doubled, and the cursor leaves black splotches.  It looks
like some rectangles are not being fully painted.  See attached
screenshot.

The glitches go away when the window is moved, but then accumulate again
with further editing.

There are no problems under metacity.  Also, maverick did not have these
problems (even with natty’s emacs23).
