So, the only way to get rid of the bug is to do a massive update from 8.0.4 to 9.0.x ? -- Evolution cursor creates a track. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237002 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 confirm this problem with 8.04 and previously with Gutsy also. I have Nvidia card and Compiz enabled.

Ubuntu 8.04.2 (all latest updates installed) still has this problem, and since there is no NVIDIA driver for Ubuntu 8.10 (at least I always get this message when I try to install), a "bug fix" in 8.10 does not help at all!

Unfortunately, when I try to update to 8.10, I get the message, that no NVIDIA-driver for this version is available, so I of course I will not install this version!

Ok, the problem does go away when I disable the NVIDIA driver through the System->Administration->Hardware Drivers panel.

[Bug 237002] Re: Evolution cursor creates a track.
I have the same or a similar problem. It is most evident when I use the arrow keys to move the text cursor around. Usually see a lot of vertical bars--very irritating because they mask the current cursor position since they look like additional cursors ! I change fonts/subpixel smoothing options and it won't go away. I am using ubuntu 8.04, evolution 2.22.3.1. I am using the nvidia driver AMD64, compiz, 1680x1050 resolution (not sure that matters). I hate writing email with this bug... I'm going to try disabling the nvidia driver and see if it goes away. Not that I think that this is an acceptable workaround--HARDLY, but it would add another datapoint. -- Evolution cursor creates a track. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237002 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

Hello, I'm also an owner of a Nvidia card on Ubuntu 8.10 and have this problem when using Evolution. Furthermore I found the same problem when using LyX (LaTeX environment).

Changing status to Confirmed since so many people are having it and I can reproduce it across all sorts of different hardware with the same system image. If not the same bug, a similar bug occurs with Compiz turned off. Try creating a table in the middle of an email, moving the cursor to the bottom of the email, then holding the up arrow key to rapidly move the cursor through the table to the top of the email. It will often leave a ghost cursor in the top cell of the table.

I have changed my email program from EVOLUTION to THUNDERBIRD.

I have the same problem, and I found a way to reproduce it reliably (since it does not always occur). If I just type into a new window, everything is fine. But if I rescale the window or activate another window and re-activate the evolution window, the effect occurs immediately. Since this does never happen e.g. with gedit, I am quite sure, that it is a true bug in evolution and NOT a "video issue". -- Evolution cursor creates a track. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237002 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
