BBC News site showing visual corruption.

Just upgraded from webkitgtk-1.3.6-1 to webkitgtk-1.3.10-1 and I've started seeing visual corruption in Epiphany & Midori when navigating between pages using the back & forward buttons.

For example, visiting http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and clicking on a random story, then on the back button, I see what's in the attached screenshot. The corruption vanishes when scrolling or switching windows. I'm using Compiz with an Intel video card.

You were not seeing this at all with 1.3.6? 

If you disable compiz/go back to metacity does the problem stop? 

I wonder if the new webkit is somehow tickling a intel video driver bug. ;(

Comment 2 Robert Clark 2011-01-25 21:21:56 UTC
I've just downgraded to 1.3.6 to be sure and no, it definitely appeared with 1.3.10. I assume you're not able to reproduce it easily? It doesn't happen all the time, but it's fairly reproducible on the BBC news site.

Disabling compiz doesn't help, but I can't rule out an Intel issue. The only two desktops I have access to both have Intel video cards (Mac mini & Aspire One).

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2011-01-26 17:03:08 UTC
Well, I am in fact seeing corruption here, but it's in all applications since I switched to rawhide. ;) 

I don't have a non virt f14 machine around to test for only webkitgtk corruption. ;( 

I'll see if I can find any info out about this upstream...

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2011-03-15 17:19:03 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:28:15 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.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 '14' 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 14 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:
