I still see this in Fedora 17. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #679414 +++ Created attachment 480142 [details] screenshot Description of problem: Artifacts displayed on menubar and titlebar when trying the live image (desktop-20110221-x86_64). They go away after a while of moving windows around, shifting focus, hovering over menu entries, etc. (no definite way; some artifacts went away by hovering, some randomly).

Graphics card is: ATI Technologies Inc RV530GL [FireGL V3400] It seems to have something to do with settings for fonts. I see almost none of it when I set the font hinting to Medium and anti-aliasing to grayscale in gnome-tweak-tool. --- Additional comment from garrett.mitchener on 2011-06-30 10:59:51 EDT --- Possibly related to bug # 692191 --- Additional comment from garrett.mitchener on 2011-06-30 11:04:14 EDT --- Possibly related to bug # 712244 --- Additional comment from garrett.mitchener on 2011-06-30 11:30:00 EDT --- Possibly related to bug # 714890 I'm also seeing this with glade 3.8 (which I compiled and packaged myself-- it's not in fedora.) I also see this with firefox every so often, though it seems to fix itself after a while. --- Additional comment from tim on 2011-10-11 18:10:11 EDT --- Any progress on this? It's really annoying, especially Emacs and console loosing colors sometimes. --- Additional comment from garrett.mitchener on 2012-07-16 11:40:14 EDT --- This is still affecting me in Fedora 17. Any progress? --- Additional comment from endoflife on 2012-08-07 12:27:37 EDT --- This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Probably the same as bug #712244
Also can you test if booting with radeon.no_wb=1 fix the issue ?
No, it doesn't work. See screenshot.

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.

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.
