Created attachment 599432 [details] failure example on monthly calendar Description of problem: Occasional temporary corruption of desktop display depending on cursor position when moving curor over applications icons from "Activities" "Applications" display, or moving cursor over days of month in calendar display after clicking on day-of-week/time display in toolbar. When cursor is moved further, eventually the correct display resumes, with no apparent lasting damage or any other error indications. Typically, when moving the cursor over the position where the problem occurred but from a different direction the problem does not reoccur. Problem doesn't not necessarily occur at same point in display and is not 100% reproducable. Both of the displays in question are cursor sensitive and highlight the icon or day as the cursor passes, and the corruption is possibly occurring at the point the highlighting would change. Problem was not observed with Gnome 3 on f15, but was first seen on Gnome 3 on f17 (f16 was skipped, so can't say whether it had similar problems). This problem has never been observed in any application windows, only on the desktop windows mentioned above which temporily overlay the current application windows. I have f17 on multiple hardware platforms, and the only one seeing this behavior is Dell Inspiron 530s with 82G33/G31 express integrated graphics, which suggests a hardware-specific problem. The lspci data for the controller is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 530 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 41 Memory at fdf00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K] I/O ports at ff00 [size=8] Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at fdb00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: i915 The f17 install was a fresh install rather than an upgrade, but the /home directory was preserved, so that doesn't rule out the possibility of some incompatible user-specific desktop configuration file being carried over from f15. How reproducible: Highly variable. Can't get it to occur right now on either the application icons or the calendar pull-down, but yesterday was able to get a failure on both. When first installed f17 it happened all the time on Applicaions icon display. Suspect it may be dependent in some unknown way on what other application windows are active. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Activities on top bar 2. Select Applications 3. Move cursor around over application icons or 1. Select day-of-week/time to get calendar disply 2. Move cursor around on calendar Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
