Description of problem: On F17, when I move the mouse pointer over the tuxguitar display window (where the tabs, notes etc are) it leaves a trail of blocks and garbage behind it, leaving it unreadable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuxguitar-1.2-7.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move mouse pointer over tuxguitar window 2. 3. Actual results: Junk is drawn into the window Expected results: No junk ) Additional info:
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), it does not happen here, so I am not sure how much help I can provide. Now a few questions: - Do you use any proprietary video card drivers, e.g. nvidia? - What window manager do you use? gdm, kdm, ...? - Did you look at the console output? Is there any hints for the source of the misbehavior? - Did you report this to the upstream developers? They might have a better idea for where the problem stems from, since it is their code.

No. I am using an on-board Intel graphics chip: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) And using the shipped xorg intel driver > - What window manager do you use? gdm, kdm, ...?

Nothing appears in a console if I start tuxguitar from a command line. > - Did you report this to the upstream developers?

I see. Let's try the following: - Please switch to root in a command line. - Back up the file /usr/bin/tuxguitar, for example to /usr/bin/tuxguitar.original - Edit the file /usr/bin/tuxguitar. Try replacing the last line via ${JAVA} ${VM_ARGS} -cp :${CLASSPATH} -Dtuxguitar.share.path="/usr/share/tuxguitar/" -Djava.library.path="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false ${MAINCLASS} "$1" "$2" "$arg" Note that _all_ of the above should be in _one_ line. - Start tuxguitar. See if this helps. If it does help, please try to see if this change breaks any of the other previously working features.
Ah, yes. Adding -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false does indeed fix the issue. Thanks for the suggestion. I have played around with this added in, and so far nothing appears broken - but I am new to tuxguitar and only just getting used to using it, so my testing isn't by any means exhaustive.
Thanks for the feedback. I am marking this bug as a duplicate to bug #827746 as that one was filed earlier. Please continue over there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 827746 ***
