[Bug 1032936] Re: Scrolling right in java apps distorts screen

 

Still a hefty issue in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (current).

Only -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true solves it, the xrender option just
distorts the distortion a bit.

I have also detected that it does not happen when you run the java app
as a different user (than that who runs the X server) via "ssh
user@localhost -Y"...

Title:
  Scrolling right in java apps distorts screen

Bug description:
  I have the same problem as reported here:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41086

  When scrolling right in Java apps the screen becomes distorted. This
  does not happen when scrolling left.

  See attached screenshot of TV-Browser where this happens normally.
  After making the screenshot the distortion is away. Looks like the screen is redrwan after that.

  Some more details:

  In the above mentioned bug report the user has a AMD graphics card.
  I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver, so I think it's not the
  graphics driver.

  Since this only happens in java apps this must have something to do
  with openjdk.

  This problem only exists with Unity (compiz) not with Unity 2D
  (metacity). So I think this is a problem with java graphics and
  compositing.
