Description Brandon Nielsen 2019-09-18 19:48:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Enabling background transparency results in strange menu behavior


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.34.0


How reproducible:
Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify profile to have a transparent background
2. Shrink terminal window so menu will appear above terminal window
3. Click menu button

Actual results:
Menu appears to have an additional box behind it, after dismissing the menu, this box intermittently reappears as mouse is moved around terminal or the area where the menu used to be shown.

Expected results:
Menu appears above the terminal window with no additional black box. No portions of the menu remain after the menu is dismissed.

Additional info:
Running with a Wayland session, did not test Xorg.

You mean like this:

Comment 2 Brandon Nielsen 2019-09-27 02:16:09 UTC
In looking into this a little deeper, and trying to reproduce, there seem to be 3, possibly related issues.

1 - The initial 'box' appearing behind the menu, this is definitely related to the issue linked in the GNOME issue tracker. I will attach a screenshot.

2 - The reappearing 'box', which only appears on my AMD RV630 machine, I cannot reproduce on my system with Intel integrated graphics.

3 - On both systems, with the same initial conditions mentioned above, moving the mouse over the zoom controls in the menu can cause portions of the menu to disappear. Moving the mouse away from the zoom controls causes the missing portion to reappear.

I have yet to find a good way to capture the second two issues, screen capture tools do not show the corruption.

Using X.org, the zoom menu simply does not appear when the terminal is sufficiently small. This happens with or without background transparency enabled.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Brandon Nielsen 2020-11-04 20:46:41 UTC
For completeness, issue 1 from comment #2 is still present in Fedora 33.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 17:50:31 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
