[Bug 113086] Re: Enabling Desktop Effects, some part of firefox, thunderbird and evolution windows are black for few seconds when I deminimize them.

[Sergio Zanchetta]

I'm using Hardy Alpha 6 (live cd) and I can still reproduce this bug with firefox and evolution.
I don't know about amarok, thunderbird and wow.

I am setting Evolution as incomplete, since we are now running unstable
2.21.92 on Hardy. Can this be reproduced on current evo on Hardy? I
cannot reproduce it, but I do not run compiz.

As I said, I can reproduce it in Evolution and Firefox using Hardy Alpha 6
(live cd) with compiz enabled (it enables it automatically on startup:
radeon IGP 340M, open source "ati" driver).

I don't see anything here about a bug in amarok, so I'm closing the
assignment to amarok.

I'd like to add my voice to those confirming this bug for evolution and
firefox. Latest hardy install, everything updated. I'm experiencing
exactly what's described in the original bug report.

Is there a workaround?

[Pausanias]

I'd like to add that I'm experiencing this with an NVIDIA card (Quadro
FX Go1400) and with *metacity composite*, not compiz. So the bug seems
to span both ATI and NVIDIA cards as well as metacity and compiz. This
would appear to support the idea that it's a bug in the applications
themselves.

[Pausanias]

Clarification: when I use compiz instead of metacity composite, I still
get the buggy behavior.

[Åskar]

I suffer from this too, please fix this :)

[John Vivirito]

Has anyone seen this issue in other browsers than firefox example:
firefox-3.0, epiphany, galeon,kopq. ect...? Im seeing this as being all
over the map with different apps and would like to come up with a base
other than Firefox and Thunderbird if possible.

[John Vivirito]

so far only official reports ive seen have to do with Mozilla apps, if
this is case why do i see bugs open for non-Mozilla apps? Can this be
confirmed on other apps?

[Pausanias]

If you read the comments, you'll see at least two of us experience this
bug with Evolution as well.

I still experience it with Evolution and Firefox on a fully updated
hardy install, using the default nvidia driver and with metacity (not
compiz) as the composite manager.

[John Vivirito]

Pausanias, That was my point how can it be Mozilla if other apps have
this issue. im wondering if its not just GTK that is doing this more so
than anything else. Other than those packages listed in package section
that are still valid is this seen in other packages? Maybe evo is in
same boat Mozilla is in but than i would expect there to be an upstream
evo bug on this. All of the official docs that this bug points to is
only Mozilla apps and that bothers me since we know its not just Mozilla
having this issue.

[Pausanias]

Well, I'm fairly sure that this is not purely a GTK issue. I've tested
many other GTK apps with complicated multi-panel windows (rhythmbox,
pidgin), and they don't have this issue. As far as I can tell, this is
only a problem with Evolution and Mozilla.

The David Reveman post linked to above suggests that it might be
incorrect implementation of a sync protocol in these applications. But
it also says that no GTK apps should have this problem, so I'm not sure
what the issue is.

I'll leave it to someone more experienced than myself to open a bug
upstream with the evolution developers.

[John Vivirito]

Can someone please test this is seamonkey(iceape) whatever one you have
installed from repos, as well as sunbird stand-alone.

** Summary changed:

- Enabling Desktop Effects, some part of firefox, thunderbird and evolution windows are black for few seconds when I deminimize them.

+ The sync request protocol (_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST in the EWMH spec) is not supported in some GTK apps

** Description changed:

With Desktop Effects, I get black on some part of Firefox and Thunderbird windows.
Some time is the menu bar, other time is the main window (in thunderbird it happens randomly on each part of it)
It lasts few seconds, then it's ok.
I think it's a refresh problem.

P.S.: I got a black screen for 4-5 seconds even when I log in.

Video Card: ATI IGP 340M on Compaq Presario 2136EA

+ Firefox, Thunderbird, Evolution are the confirmed apps that dont support
+ the protocol

Pausanisa that is my point if no GTK apps should have this issue and its not just mozilla seeing this issue than its not purely a Mozilla related issue. It would be nice if there was a more general way of fixing this than in each app but either way lets see what happens if mozilla fixes it upstream.
I dont use evolution so i wouldnt be helpful to file the bug there.

[Sebastien Bacher]

could you try if that's still an issue in intrepid or jaunty?
