Hernando Torque (htorque) wrote : Rendering artifacts with nvidia-current and nouveau

Binary package hint: compiz

Certain menus don't get "painted over" after they have been closed, e.g. the menu in Chromium when adding a bookmark, the bookmark menus in Opera (see screenshots), the context menu of unity-window-decorator (see screencast).

This seems to happen only with Compiz running and nvidia-current or nouveau, but not with intel (tested the three drivers on a 64-bit hybrid graphics system, confirmed on a 32-bit Nvidia system).
