A screenshot would be very helpful in explaining what you're seeing - e.g. where is this terinal icon you speak of ? :) However, I have noticed something similar under icons in the notification area in the past. I don't have access to the system right now, but will try to get this info to you. The terminal icon was added manually to the panel; I *think* the same behavior occurred whenever I clicked on any other panel icon as well (that didn't immediately bring the app fullscreen). This is most likely caused by the splash effect and maybe some X bug. I see this on FC devel too. Using IBM Thinkpad with "S3 Savage/IX" gfx. Attaching screenshot. Created attachment 106238 [details]
Shows a line of corrupted pixels on the right
It looks like every pixel along the right except the topmost one gets their red and green values inverted (x => 255-x), but the blue value stays the same. The effect is visible on a screenshot but disappears after a redraw. Probably related: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153996 Created attachment 106264 [details]
screenshot in FC3 with the problem
This seems to be a problem in FC3 as well (except now the line appears to be
yellow).
Note that the problem only appears if an already running application is not
maximized before launching a non-maximized application from the panel. If an
already running application is maximized then the line does not appear.
*** Bug 138597 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I want to add that the line probably comes from the visual effect that happens immediately following the clicking of a launcher. The rectangle is yellow in color and expands out past the edges of the screen, all except for the right side of the rectangle. The panel has code to draw an an xor based animation when you click the launcher. Most likely the culprit, but not neccessarily a panel bug. See gnome-panel/gnome-panel/xstuff.c:xstuff.c:xstuff_zoom_animate(). Might be worth pulling the code as a test case and seeing if we still reproduce the problem, but its more likely that it needs to be the same client doing the grabbing/drawing which causes us not to get expose events or something. Just a guess, needs debugging. *** Bug 139206 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 139117 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 107175 [details]
Rogue yellow line on RHS
view with "gunzip < filename | xwud". This picture shows the yellow line does
not extend the full height of my window.
I have had a yellow line one pixel wide on the right hand side of my screen for days now. The line does not extend all the way down the screen though. I have attached a bitmap image to this bug for your perusal. Dragging a window over the line lets it redraw with the correct xroot picture, and I can reproduce the line at will by opening an xterm from the panel. xdpyinfo says that I am running 1280x1024 I am also seeing the yellow line, behaving roughly as described in the above submissions. I'm on a ThinkPad T30, Radeon 7500, 1400x1050, running FC3. gnome-panel-2.8.1-3 xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1 metacity-2.8.6-2 For me it began when I placed a FireFox launcher in my bottom panel. Each click of this launcher toggles the yellow line. Launching FireFox from the Internet menu doesn't cause it. (another launcher, for another program, also creates the yellow line) Upstream bug with a patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156162 Built fix into dist-4E-HEAD and dist-fc4 Bug fixed in gnome-panel-1.8.2. Can this be updated in FC3 soon, please? OK, new package build, based upon the core 3 package.
