I have a similar problem when playing fullscreen games (Nexuiz and UT). When Compiz is active, I get similar flickering. Undirect fullscreen does not help. -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks you brucehd, I confirm this, it's solution for more fullscreen problems (in firefox and screensavers, gThumb image viewer). In F-spot fullscreen problem it steel present. In Ubuntu distribution I repruduced a fix described by brucehd follow: SYSYEM-PREFERENCES-Advanced desktop Effect Settings - General options - Unredirect fullscreen Windows (OFF). I didn't need to restart X server to take a effect.

[Bug 153204] Re: flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields
I have experienced this issue using Firefox3b5, Epiphany 2.22.1.1, EOG 2.22.1, and every other application that can run in fullscreen display mode, with the lone exception of IrfanView (which runs under WINE); running under Hardy Heron 8.04 x86_64, using an AMD 64 X2 with the nVidia GeForce 6150 IGP. It happened every time an object, such as a tooltip, context (right-click) menu, or dropdown menu, appeared on the screen while in fullscreen mode. Imagine how annoying browsing the threads in the Ubuntu Forums in fullscreen mode could be with those tooltips popping up and the screen flickering and jumping. The flicker looks as described above and ranges from a minimal flicker to a bunch of 'garbage' that looks like the display momentarily lost horizontal sync. Those old enough to remember CRT TVs with horizontal hold controls will know what that looks like. I don't know if this would be classified as a fix or a workaround. But here's how I got fullscreen mode to behave: Install the Compiz Fusion Icon from within Synaptic and ran it (Applications System Tools Compiz Fusion Icon). The icon will appear in the System Tray area. Right-click on the CF Icon, select Settings Manager, and click General Options. In the General tab, uncheck Unredirect Fullscreen Windows, click Back, and click Close. On my system the problem was fixed immediately. But I restarted the x-server just in case it was a fluke (this was the case when something else I tried seemed to workbut it hadn't). This worked for me. If this works for others and has no ill effect on most major and most used apps, perhaps this could be the default setting until the reason for the flicker is discovered and fixed? -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm having the same issue using Firefox 3 Beta 5 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. When in fullscreen mode, it sometimes happens after clicking links on websites, but especially when clicking the drop-down menu of the adddress-bar or search-bar. -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm that I'm having this problem too. I'm using the nvidia drivers installed by the Restricted Device Manager and compiz. I'm using Gutsy. I get this problem with the alpha release of Firefox 3 too. I've also noticed the workspace switching is slower with Firefox in full screen mode. No other windows are open when this happens. -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Right-clicking, displaying alt texts etc also cause flickering. -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 153204] Re: flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields
Tonight I had some friends over and I demonstrated the nice new 3d desktop in gutsy. They were terribly annoyed by the artifacts described in this bug. So I made a video of my desktop exhibiting the bug: http://u.no.net/lnl .. In this video I am using several pull-down menus which you do not see properly. You will notice very annoying screen flickerings. They show exactly how it looks on my desktop, except for the poor frame-rate, and also due to the poor frame rate I believe some of the most annoying effects were hidden from the video file. But never the less, I hope this gives some more insight! -- flickering and strangeness in full screen mode firefox while interacting with input fields https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am having the same problem, I believe. Reproduced on a Samsung X20 XVM 1730 V laptop with an Intel 915 graphics controller using the gutsy live CD.
