[Bug 286932] Re: openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse
I'm using nvidia-glx-180 version 180.44-0ubuntu1, and having the same problem. How exactly am I to fix this? Do I need to add someone's personal repository, or is can someone just post a link to a .deb?

Thanks for confirming, Rüdiger Kupper. I guess I may need to file a new bug report for this. I wasn't sure since the new driver isn't part of an official release yet. Personally, I don't mind None mode (Compiz disabled) but I worry that first-timers will be very turned off if they try Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro using this NVIDIA driver) and see this kind of scrolling. Very bad first (and final) impression. -- openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286932 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
[Bug 286932] Re: openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse
I installed 185.18.14 (using the link provided by Bryce Harrington above) and have observed scrolling problems in the OpenOffice Word Processor when Visual Effects are set to Normal (the default setting). Setting Visual Effects to None works around the problem. I wrote a small Python script to generate a test text file to load in OpenOffice (redirect the script's stdout to something like lines.txt and then open the file in the OpenOffice Word Processor): from __future__ import print_function for i in range(1000): for j in range(6): print('line', i, end='\t') print() After loading that text file in OpenOffice, I paged through the file using the PgDn key on the keyboard. When the window was drawn incorrectly, I captured it with gnome-screenshot. I am attaching some examples. ** Attachment added: screen shots http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29082054/nvidia.tar.bz2 -- openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286932 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

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14-0ubuntu1 --- nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low * New upstream release (LP: #376067): - Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine applications are run. (LP: #344721) - Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1 screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more than one X screen. - Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration option. - Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard passive stereo modes. - Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5. - Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management suspend/resume events. - Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a composite manager is running. (LP: 294925) - Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash. - Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while driving Quadro SDI products. - Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs. - Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later Quadro GPUs. - Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II. - Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from clone mode to OpenGL mode would fail. - Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in DVB broadcasts. - Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction algorithm. - Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall back to the blit-based presentation queue if required. - Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with. - Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux. - Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all standard resolutions on all supported GPUs. - Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused display preemption when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed. - Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one thread, at the same time that another thread detected display preemption. - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels. - OpenOffice and Skype no longer have flickering buttons on mouseover when compiz is enabled.

[Bug 286932] Re: openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse
ok, it is proven on this system here, going back to nvidia-drivers version 173 (proprietary) helped, things work fine again. bugs are there in combination of compiz and proprietary drivers from nvidia version 177. ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: openoffice, skype + Binary package hint: nvidia and compiz ubuntu hardy 64bit openoffice 2.4 from repo openoffice 3.0 from openoffice web-site hello i had no problems till some days ago openoffice started to do something quite annoying: when i hover with mouse over the text on a drop-down-menu, like file or tools or any other, the text and the icons disappear and reappear... also the buttons like OK or CANCEL appear and disappear. sometimes option-widows of openoffice open with no text or text just half drowned. klicking with mouse on windows lets text appear completely... i tryed other teams, also human, , it does not work. removed ~/.gtk* but no avail. the only thing that works is to switch off compiz. might this be related to new nvidia-drivers 177? -- openoffice and skype menus and buttons disappear and reappear hovering over with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286932 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
