The notes asked why an Ubuntu/Compiz problem is being reported on
R-bugs. Answer: because the fact that no other application exhibits
these redrawing problems seems to indicate that R is to blame, not
Compiz.
Wrong logic. And just because you have "the only" system that displays
such behaviour does not imply that R is bug-free, nor that a workaround
is necessarily impossible.
Furthermore, the data editor is not drawn properly with Metacity
either (some row names missing until cursor is moved).
That's not true for Metacity on Fedora, it seems.
Should I make a
new bug report that does not mention Compiz?
Certainly not! Hiding the fact that this is system-specific does not
resolve the issue any faster. To the contrary, since it is
system-specific, it is most likely to be analyzed and eventually fixed
by someone with access to the specific system.
However, R is an application that has worked across multiple X11 based
platforms for many years. If R doesn't work on a new platform, I think
it is fair to ask what is being done different on that platform, by
filing a bug report for the system, if necessary.
