ghost of a closed nautilus window

Since my update to fedora 22 a few months ago, I have a strange display corruption: a window which has been displayed for a while leaves a ghost, especially on screen borders.


It does not look like a problem with the screen itself (as old CRTs used to show) as it only happens when the OS is running and not in the BIOS, but it does survive a reboot: the same ghost remains visible in the boot screen (between grub and gdm). It happens both on the main integrated screen and on external ones.
It is most visible in my gnome-shell session, but I also see it in gdm and in other desktop environments, as well as in the boot splash.
Furthermore the corruption is not captured in a screenshot, only by taking an actual photo.
Thus, my uneducated guess is that the problem is at the kernel level (I had it with all kernels from 4.0.3 to the current 4.1.3).


The attached image shows a ghost of a nautilus window while only a blue-ish background should be visible.


Hardware: integrated intel graphics on an haswell core i5 (2nd gen lenovo carbon X1). My desktop computer with similar hardware (haswell corei5) does not have the same problem.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 22 kernel bugs.

Fedora 22 has now been rebased to 4.2.3-200.fc22.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you have moved on to Fedora 23, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 23.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 2 Aurelien Naldi 2015-10-21 10:43:22 UTC
I can confirm that the issue is still there in fedora 23

Comment 3 Mark 2016-01-16 05:48:05 UTC
Similar bug for me but only on boot. Since upgrade to 4.3.3-300 boot display first 3 lines of messages. Then the screen sort of blanks, but it's really a gray color with a ghost image of some previous display. When the hard drive stops I know it's at login so I close the laptop lid to suspend, open the lid to resume and the login appears normal.

Comment 4 buzire.rhn 2016-09-23 05:25:00 UTC
This existed since at least Fedora 22, still present in F23.

The ghosts don't show up on boot in F23 any longer.
They don't appear on screenshots.

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. The kernel moves very fast so bugs may get fixed as part of a kernel update. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 26 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 26 has now been rebased to 4.15.4-200.fc26.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 27, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 27.
