Public bug reported: Sometimes, I am affected by bug 808962 where unity always stays on top of my windows. This is very annoying. In an attempt to workaround this, I opened ccsm and disabled & re-enabled Unity (unchecked and then rechecked the compiz plugin).
After doing this, I end up with a purple bar on the side of my screen that does not redraw, and is still above all windows. I do not have to experience bug 808962 first for this to happen. It seems like it's an issue after disabling & re-enabling it. Sometimes, the unity bar at the top does not redraw correctly either. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open ccsm 2. Disable Unity 3. Re-enable Unity I am running natty on a Thinkpad T410 with the nvidia-proprietary drivers installed through synaptic. $ lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 Codename: natty $ lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816527 Title: Unity does not redraw To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/816527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
