Description Andre Robatino 2012-12-21 03:08:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Sometimes, after either booting or logging out, the name in the gdm screen has an exaggerated shadow effect. I saw this for the first time after installing gdm-3.6.2-5.fc18.x86_64. It appears intermittently, but mostly after logging out. So in reproducing this it may help to have a logout option by having either more than one user, or more than one DE (for example "yum install cinnamon").

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.6.2-5.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
sometimes

Comment 3 Andre Robatino 2012-12-24 23:27:20 UTC
I'm seeing this now virtually every time, both in F18 and Rawhide.

Comment 4 Andre Robatino 2013-01-03 00:37:44 UTC
Forgot to mention that I started seeing this immediately after updating to gdm-3.6.2-5.fc18, so is probably specific to that version (or possibly some other updates-testing package mentioned in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2012-December/112694.html ). I'm using a VirtualBox 4.2.6 F18 guest.

Comment 5 Andre Robatino 2013-02-27 04:10:30 UTC
I'm still seeing this once in a while in my VirtualBox guest. I haven't seen it on bare metal or a KVM guest (though I haven't run a KVM guest recently).

Comment 6 Andre Robatino 2013-07-11 11:16:09 UTC
I suspect this has to do specifically with the VirtualBox guest additions, and not anything in Fedora. I see it consistently, but only in a VirtualBox guest with the guest additions installed. I'll set the Severity on this to "low" and continue to keep an eye on it.

Comment 7 Andre Robatino 2013-10-17 00:45:20 UTC
I'm not seeing this in my VirtualBox F20 and Rawhide guests with GNOME 3.10, and I don't have a vbox F19 guest anymore, so I don't know if it still exists there. I'll leave this open for now in case anyone else sees it.

Comment 8 Andre Robatino 2013-10-17 16:24:48 UTC
I take it back. I'm seeing it now in my Rawhide VirtualBox guest with the guest additions installed.

Comment 9 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:54:35 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 10:52:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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 '23'.

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 23 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 11 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 12:32:10 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.
