Created attachment 366422 [details] screenshot Description of problem: Not quite sure what the culprit is (X?) but testing latest rawhide I noticed tooltips are causing "damage" to the gnome desktop menu sometimes. This is on a ATI machine btw (but screenshot is with vesa though I first noticed it with radeon driver). Steps to Reproduce: 1. move mouse up and down gnome desktop menus Actual results: For an example see attached screenshot Sometimes dead space also appears over the parent menu. Expected results: no artefacts Additional info: Will test tomorrow on intel and nvidia boxes but vesa suggests it is not a drv issue.
What window manager is this with ?
Metacity here
Metacity compositor ?
no compositing
How bizarre: The missing part of the menu is left behind in the nautilus window when you dismiss the menu.
Looks like a bug in the automatic compositor in the X server. I'll work around in GTK+ for now, and move the bug over to the X side.
(Yep also reproduced on nouveau and cirrus kvm.)
Should this be an F12Blocker?
If you can still reproduce it with gtk2-2.18.3-15.fc12...
(In reply to comment #9) > If you can still reproduce it with gtk2-2.18.3-15.fc12... Thanks, Mathias, no that helps. :)

I am seeing it with the 1.7.1-1 X server. Based on how I have experienced this bug I don't think it should be a blocker. It doesn't happen a lot. The problem it causes is minimal in my experience. It is fixable with an update after release. I'll keep an eye out for this, as I thought I saw it after I had gtk2-2.18.3-15 installed, but perhaps I hadn't restarted metacity/x11 after that update.
One other note is that my experience with this bug is related to the panel rather than the menu. I use the panel a lot more than the menu.

You should be able to have tooltip pop up over the bottom panel by moving gedit partially offscreen so that the gedit toolbar ends up right above the bottom panel. Then run metacity without compositor, and you should see the damage (or rather, not see it since I've worked around the problem)
Not reliably. (I mentioned that in my bug which ended up being a dup.) I have my panel just on the bottom and set to 36 pixels. I have lots of desktop workspaces setup and visit the panel often to visit different ssh sessions or applications. Occasionally the tooltip appears just above the panel, but a similarly sized area of the panel nearby shows the background image instead of the gray panel. Once the whole is there it sticks around even after the tool tip is gone. It can get partially redrawn. It happens a lot more on my rv530 than my rv280 system. I didn't notice it today, but I wasn't looking for it or trying to get tooltips to show up to get it to happen.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages (at least F12Beta, but even better if the very latest versions). Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
Matej, erm this bug was filed last week, you think it has been fixed already?
(In reply to comment #18) > Matej, erm this bug was filed last week, > you think it has been fixed already? Yes, why not? :D (and this was just one of the 900+ bugs I sent this request too) Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), /var/log/dmesg, and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Thanks.
Sorry, now looking at the comment 19 it was obviously too much affected by me doing couple of hundred these bugs that day. No, you bug got into huge group of bugs where we require retesting. But yes we would still like to see the information requested.

Could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [Note please, that this is machine generated comment for large amount of bugs; due to some technical issues, it is possible we've missed some of the responses -- it is happens, please, just a make a comment about that; that we will see. Thank you]
I filed a bug that was marked a duplicate and haven't seen this particular issue for quite a while. So I think it is safe to close this now.
Thank you for letting us know.
