Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Starting today, Oct 8, with Kwin compositing active, I get 1-pixel wide artifacts all over the screen. When a window disappears, the very right-most and bottom-most lines of it remain. Sometimes when scrolling in Konqueror, a line from somewhere else in the web page will "stick" at the bottom of the web view (above the status bar). The bouncy cursor icon when launching a new application leaves bits of itself behind.

All of these artifacts disappear when that part of the screen is repainted (e.g. moving a window over the area, activating the present windows effect).

Didn't happen before rebooting this morning, so I'm suspecting mesa 7.6.0.

This one is trickier to see. It's at the bottom of the webview area in Konqueror, only 1 pixel high.

Thanks, I've prepared a package for testing.

Could you attach a photo (or screenshot maybe) that shows the corruption?

Upstream suggests this may be due to a patch recently included, which was found to cause problems on kwin. They would like you to test reverting that patch to confirm it is indeed the source of the problem.

For your convenience, I have created a PPA for you which reverts the patch. Installing this PPA and restarting X, and then trying to reproduce the issue should be sufficient to perform the testing that upstream wants.

I'd actually built mesa myself before I saw your comment, and yes, reverting that upstream commit fixed the bug. I then tried your package (7.6.0-1ubuntu2~bug446425~2) which, oddly enough, didn't fix it. Did the patch not apply properly?
