The bug doesn't reproduce anymore. Both the extracted-from-xfwm4.c test
program and xfwm4 now work, on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine with the NVIDIA
GeForce 750 Ti card. I configured it back to nouveau and enabled
compositing.
I'm guessing an update fixed it?

Title:
Cairo drawing coordinates are broken w/nouveau (affects xfwm4)
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I'm using xfwm4 with Xubuntu 16.04. With compositing enabled, and
when I cycle through windows with Alt-Tab, xfwm4 draws an opaque
rectangle bordering a candidate window, and it fills that rectangle
with a semi-transparent blue color. When I use the nouveau driver,
the filled rectangle is clipped. The problem does not reproduce with
the proprietary nvidia driver.
It seems as though a drawing command should be issued using a window-
relative coordinate, but sometimes is instead issued using a screen-
relative coordinate.
I extracted relevant bits of xfwm4 into a small test program that
reproduces the problem. The test program creates a transparent
XWindow at (100,100) with size (210,210). It draws six rectangles
centered inside the window of varying parameters. Two of them are
drawn at the wrong place.
xfwm4 should be off-the-hook, I think, unless it's doing something
wrong (e.g. unspecified/undefined behavior).

I created a video demonstrating the problem in xfwm4:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dZN80tMA6M. If you look closely, you
can see that the opaque blue border is positioned correctly, while the
semi-transparent overlay isn't.
FWIW, I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti card.
