Package: libcairo2-dbg
Version: 1.8.10-4
Severity: normal

Package: libcairo2
version 1.8.10-4

affects: iceweasel 3.5.9, icedove 3.0.4, thunderbird 3 in Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu)

Problem:
Still since the libcairo2 version, which is mentioned in the Subject there is a
strange bug in the view of the above mentioned programmes. For example the
iceweasel pull-down-menu „Help“ ist absolutely transparent. It's still
usable (click there causes the appropriate reaction – but as I don't see
anything it's some kind of lottery)

Te same thing affects some of the menu prompts and also the icedove password
prompt.

I'm not quite sure where to tell this, but as some month ago when libcairo2 in
squeeze was 1.8.10-1 (or something like this) I took the libcairo2-version from
unstable into my debian sid, and everythings works like a charm. Now in squeeze
there is also the newer version of libcairo2 and even experimental seems to
bring the same problems. But as it worked before I think it is in libcairo2.

I've noticed that the problem is gone if I shutdown any kind of composite…
(compiz and even metacity composite) but as I'm not very experienced in
debugging librarys I've no idea how to start.

To show the effects of the bug I will link here two WWW-Addresses.

thunderbi/

There are some screenshots at this places to illustrate the problem.
Firefox 3.6.X seems to be not affected, so I'm still not quite sure if it will
be a libcairo2 bug. Both users which got these problems (me and
„willeknille“) have an ATI Mobility Radeon…

Sorry for my english – I'm no native speaker so I will be glad if you get my
point ;-)
