Description Peter Williams 2011-03-02 23:25:13 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #675257 +++

Description of problem:
After recent upgrades to xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-server-common (1.9.3 and 1.9.4) windows in X11 become corrupted when moved around.  As the cursor is moved over the windows some parts get redrawn, other parts get redrawn if the button is clicked on them.  Minimizing a corrupted window and then unminimizing it cause it to be completely redrawn.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-server-common
2. grab a window and move it around.
  
Actual results:
Windows become corrupted when moving windows around or resizing them.

Expected results:
Windows do not become corrupted.

Additional info:
Downgrading to the following stops the problem from occurring:
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.9.0-15.fc14.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-common-1.9.0-15.fc14.x86_64

Please, could you please keep different devices separate. Reporter, please, file a separate bug for ATI cards, and Peter, please, file a separate one for nvidia. If we make from this bug mesh of all corrupted graphics in Xorg world, it would be completely useless, and we won't resolve anything. Let's keep this one for VMware issue.

Of course, attach to those new bugs logs requested in comment 3 here.

Those logs got overwritten when I downgraded and rebooted.  Is there a mechanism by which they can be copied them across from Bug #675257?

Comment 4 Michael Cronenworth 2011-11-28 18:23:39 UTC
Is this still an issue? This was fixed several months ago for me.

Comment 5 Peter Williams 2011-11-28 23:02:28 UTC
I've upgraded to Fedora 16 and it isn't an issue there.

As for Fedora 15, I can't say for sure as I no longer have it installed.  The problem certainly wasn't present on my machines before I upgraded but whether that's because I had the 1.9.0-15 versions installed instead of the latest updates or not I can't say.

Comment 6 Jason 2011-11-29 19:00:17 UTC
This disappeared for me somewhere during the Fedora 16 Beta, I think. It does not happen anymore.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:45:10 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.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:
