I confirm what you said on my system too. I installed version 173 of nvidia driver and everything is fine now. I just don't know why Ubuntu reccomends me to install version 177... why?
** Description changed: 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? + + ----------------------------------------------------------------- + --- description update by Guglielmo Cola + It is definetely related to the use of nvidia driver version 177. ** Tags added: nvidia -- 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
