[Bug 686448] New: Many graphical glitches, UI problems, and instability with Compiz
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686448 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686448#c0 Summary: Many graphical glitches, UI problems, and instability with Compiz Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Compiz AssignedTo: bnc-team-compiz@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: harnold@gmx.de QAContact: ories@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Activating desktop effects on Gnome in 11.4 leads to many graphical problems, for example: - Many windows do not become fully visible until their content is redrawn. Seems to happen particularly often with dialog windows and menus (might be related to bug #670605). - When "wobbly windows" is active (which, for whatever reason, is the default), windows are nearly impossible to move or resize using the mouse. - Title bars do not reflect the active/inactive state (see bug #679331). - Window placement is bad; some windows are placed with most of their content outside the screen (see bug #679533). Moreover, when using the flat-file configuration backend (which is the default), compiz crashes every time a setting is modified using simple-ccsm. The compiz version in the X11:Compiz repository (0.9.4-118.1) does *not* fix these problems. Reproducible: Always Compiz has worked without problems on this machine for *years*. Did you really have to include an unstable development version of compiz in 11.4? openSUSE 11.3 worked fine with the stable version 0.8.6. Is it possible to downgrade compiz to the latest stable version? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's already late for 11.4 and the branch with active development is 0.9.x (currently on 0.9.5 devel, being latest stable 0.9.4).
On http://wiki.compiz.org I read: "March 30th, 2011: Compiz 0.8.8 (stable) released! March 7th, 2011: Compiz 0.9.4 (development) released!" The compiz developers probably know which version of their software is stable. I know that it is too late for 11.4 now, but for the future releases, I hope that openSUSE will only include versions that at least the developers consider stable. I can use Factory if I want unstable software.
For the next release of openSUSE if upstream doesn't fix the problems with the dependencies, I'm afraid that it can endanger the presence of compiz for it.
I do have one last favor to ask you, please provide me the following information if possible:
a copy of ~/.xsession-errors, the output of "glxinfo | grep server" and one log of Xorg so I can submit them as documentation with the bug report.
Output of glxinfo and Xorg log attached; no compiz-related messages in ~/.xsession-errors. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
