Description of problem:
Artifacts displayed on menubar and titlebar when trying the live image (desktop-20110221-x86_64).

They go away after a while of moving windows around, shifting focus, hovering over menu entries, etc. (no definite way; some artifacts went away by hovering, some randomly).

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

dmesg output

This issue didn't reproduce twice when I booted with drm.debug=0x04.  Attaching the logs from the boot nevertheless.

Can confirm this behavior on my thinkpad with the same hardware specs.

Comment 6 Garrett Mitchener 2011-06-30 14:57:13 UTC
I see this sometimes on my system.  Graphics card is: ATI Technologies Inc RV530GL [FireGL V3400]

It seems to have something to do with  settings for fonts.  I see almost none of it when I set the font hinting to Medium and anti-aliasing to grayscale in gnome-tweak-tool.

I'm also seeing this with glade 3.8 (which I compiled and packaged myself-- it's not in fedora.)

I also see this with firefox every so often, though it seems to fix itself after a while.

Comment 10 Tim Niemueller 2011-10-11 22:10:11 UTC
Any progress on this? It's really annoying, especially Emacs and console loosing colors sometimes.

Comment 11 Garrett Mitchener 2012-07-16 15:40:14 UTC
This is still affecting me in Fedora 17.  Any progress?

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:27:37 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
