[Bug 1354023] [NEW] Screen contents are not being redrawn unless moving window off screen.

 

Public bug reported:

Nvidia 340.24 Ubuntu 14.04.1

Let's say that I'm scrolling through web page in firefox. It's not redrawing so I have to drag window for it to redraw.
Another example: I'm in Ubuntu Tweak, just toggled some stuff but it's not showing button change. I have to drag window off screen to properly redraw.
Another example: Nautilus, I'm scrolling but it's not showing that it's scrolling. Again need to move window off screen and back to see changes.
Another one: I'm writing right now and when I press Enter nothing happens, I have to press it again but cursor goes two rows down. Oh and now word "rows" is still in previous line with cursor so I have one ghost cursor and one in front.

I think it's understandable now.


I have this bug since 14.04 alpha, I though it's some dev crap and just made switch to Arch. Since 14.04.1 you have nice Vsync so I'm back.

My guess: Someone at Cannonical tried to implement "reuse screen
contents" from Kwin but failed.
