Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect extended display

3. Open gnome-terminal and hit few times enter (prompt will have redrawing problems, the same happens with pop-up menus in gnome)
  
Actual results:

Redrawing issues

Expected results:

No redrawing issues

Problem does not occur while Compiz effects (Preferences->Desktop Effects-> Compiz) are turned on.

Comment 5 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-15 08:31:41 UTC
Issue occurs also on rotated primary display.

Comment 7 Matěj Cepl 2010-06-15 11:15:29 UTC
Yes, can reproduce here, but it seems like it is rather minor glitch and it tends to correct itself after a brief period of time. Agree?

Comment 8 Marian Csontos 2010-06-15 11:50:44 UTC
Minor glitch? Try working with this glitch-feature enabled.
It impacts pretty much whole GUI, Firefox, everything...

Comment 9 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-15 12:04:23 UTC
Working with this "minor glitch" is really painful redrawing is slow.

And it's not really pleasant/safe to see corrupted name of the file that you're going to remove .... like:

rm fi       .t t

Especially curses based applications suffer from this all the time while using them.

I see this as a blocker, lots of people here are using flipped widescreen to the left. And this is really a problem.

I am unable to reproduce this with:

kernel-2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-11.el6.x86_64

at least not on 5-series.  I'll dig up a 4-series to confirm, but if you could retest with newer versions that'd be great

Comment 12 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-17 06:37:48 UTC
Hello,

I'm always trying to be as updated as possible. And as I said this issue is also on Fedora which has most probably much newer releases ...

Comment 13 Adam Jackson 2010-06-23 16:08:18 UTC
That's not an answer.  Can you reproduce this with current RHEL6 packages, and if so, which ones?

Comment 14 Dave Airlie 2010-06-24 01:35:02 UTC
okay reproduced this or something like it on my 965gm with rotated screen, I'm not seeing it too the same extent, but I am seeing a lag on each keystroke in the terminal like a flush is missing or something.

Comment 15 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-24 13:34:20 UTC
Hello,

I'm able to reproduce it with RHEL6 on following packages:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-12.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.7.7-12.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.4-15.el6.x86_64
libXrandr-1.3.0-4.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGL-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-libGLU-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
mesa-dri-drivers-7.7-2.el6.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-5.el6.x86_64


Dave could you please test it on  popup menus? (e.g. right click on desktop placed on rotated display?) Highlighting of the current item is messed up as well as redrawing in the terminal.

Comment 16 Dave Airlie 2010-06-25 01:13:19 UTC
I've built xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6 in brew.

can you test and feedback here?

Comment 17 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-25 13:06:53 UTC
Hello Dave,

the issue is now fixed. Tested on xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6.x86_64.

Thank you

Comment 18 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-29 14:55:46 UTC
Verified on:

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.11.0-6.el6. Issue no longer occurs in this driver.

Comment 19 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 21:56:14 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
