Description of problem: Please see bug report at: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=713 When using intel driver, I see graphical artifacts when highlighting text in Spyder (until Spyder redraws the area due to integrated word highlighter several seconds later). I don't see this issue when using vesa driver. See video: http://spyderlib.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=7130000000&name=bug.ogv&token=381d8366fa2e2fd3a811f75757eaca3d My graphics card is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 20e4 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 48 Region 0: Memory at f4400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Region 2: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 4: I/O ports at 1800 [size=8] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Address: fee0300c Data: 41b9 Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 I have seen the same issue on a different hardware with (I suppose different) intel video card, but I don't have its lspci now. An important fact is that everything worked when I booted Fedora 15 from Live CD. Something must have got broken since then. I don't really know whether this is a intel driver issue, or some QT issue. I hope you can guide me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.15.0-5.fc15.x86_64 spyder-2.0.12-1.fc15.noarch qt3-3.3.8b-35.fc15.x86_64 qt-4.7.3-6.fc15.x86_64 qt-x11-4.7.3-6.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Spyder 2. highlight words by double clicking on dragging the cursor (see the video) Actual results: graphical glitches only on intel driver Expected results: no graphical glitches
Created attachment 516840 [details] screencast of the issue
Looking at the video, I would tend to believe that the investigation should start from the top, and that means probably the text editor component used by Spyder. Reassigning in the appropriate direction.
can reproduce on my f15 box with old i945. my f14 box with i965 seems ok. sounds like a fun one to debug what's going wrong. don't see anything similar, in other PyQt4-using projects either (like eric or marave). I'm tempted to bounce this back to spyder for now, there is some latent display/render glitch/bug.
This is fixed in F16 and most recent spyder version. Close if appropriate.
Thanks for retesting it. Closing the bug as CURRENTRELEASE.
