I see the same bug since upgrading to 11.04!
Here it occurs when I login to "Ubuntu classic without effects", open a panel menu (e.g. the application menu) and wait until a popup text appears. When such popup box closes, it leaves a "hole" in the panel. AFAIK applets are redrawn correctly, only the panel background is affected. It does not matter if the panel background is set to "System default", to "Solid Color" with or without transparency or to "Image".

The hardware here is a HP Compaq 6715b with ATI RS690 (X1200) graphics adapter.

@Martin: what is your hardware?

My hardware is an Asus Eee 1005 HA-H with an Intel GMA 950.

I also found another screenshot of the issue.

Your hardware is quite different! Perhaps I have another bug, although it looks very similar (see attached screenshots). I have to correct my comment #2: the applets also get visually destroyed.

It's more a cosmetic issue and not critical - I will stay subscribed...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

@Pedro: your previous comment is a text template that does not match here. An Oneric live-CD does not include gnome-panel. And this bug is about an issue in 11.04 which will be supported until autumn 2012, is it? So please consider to set this bug to "Confirmed", or back to "New" at least.

My issue is also covered by bug 556782, but Martin who reported this bug has different hardware and would be left in the cold if this bug just expires!

Thank you for treating Launchpad reports with care.
