Title:
  Window title ellipsis (when text does not fit) is oddly transparent

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This can be seen on any window with sufficiently long title and
  sufficiently small window. The text is cut off on the right with an
  ellipsis (three dots). The problem is that the rightmost part of the
  text becomes transparent and looks very strange.

  I have a screenshot (attached) that illustrates this bug.
