The problem does not show up today for me on my x86_64 machine -- but now Bug 201634 is back (tiny desktops is gnome's workspace switcher). Why? Well, i did something different today. I started with metacity and enabled compiz afterwards because starting directly with compitz enabled lock up my machine quite often (see Bug 206850) Could you try upgrading to the latest rawhide, ie., at least compiz 0.0.13-0.27 and gnome-panel-2.16.0-2? (In reply to comment #2) > at least compiz 0.0.13-0.27 and gnome-panel-2.16.0-2? Those two did not help yet; I'll update to the full rawhide tree later and check it on another machine tomorrow Also still happens with my x86_64 machine after updating to latest rawhide and a fresh boot; compiz was enabled with desktop-effects after gnome was started with metacity due to problems described in Bug 206850 I have not had this problem before, and I have been running compiz for a few weeks. But after todays updates this started happening on my x86_64 (my i386 is not yet updated). The windows are disappearing and appearing seemingly at random. After a bit more investiagtion it seems to only happen to maximized windows. compiz-0.0.13-0.27.20060817git.fc6 (In reply to comment #6) > After a bit more investiagtion it seems to only happen to maximized windows. Happens for me with maximimized windows often, but sometimes also with a terminal and gaim that I've running together with firefox on ws#3. I got the impression that maximaized windows and/or windows that hit a corner of the screen seem to be effected by the problem most. And I'm sill wondering why the problem never happened with firefox. For me it happened with firefox as well - but onl when maximized. I now make sure that no windows are touching the edges og the viewport, and I have not had it happen since I did that. |
Description of problem: compiz is playing games with me on both of my two rawhide machines (one i386 and one x86_64) since the first bunch of rawhide update after test3. I have 7 workspaces and I'm switching between them a lot with CTRL-ALT-{LEFT,RIGHT}. irssi fullscreen on ws#1, thunderbird fullscreen on ws#2, firefox, a terminal and gaim on ws#3 and openoffice on ws#4. Sometimes windows simpy are now shown after switching to a specific workspaces -- just the background is shown. They suddenly are visable again after switchin back an forth between workspaces multiple times. Only firefox is always visable. Another way to make the apps visable again: click on the app in the "Window Selector Applet"; compitz switches to the proper workspace. Klick on the app again in the applet. Now it shows up again sometimes. In other times only the bootom ~40 pixels of the widow show up the top of the screen and not at the place where i left it. Moving it down with the mouse while holding ALT and it's there again completely. Windows sometimes even disappear *while* moving windows from one ws to abother with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-{LEFT,RIGHT} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.0.13-0.25.20060817git.fc6 otherwise up2date rawhide system as of today with gnome
