I have also experienced this problem after upgrading from jaunty to karmic (xubuntu 9.04 -> xubuntu 9.10). I have upgraded two different machines, one with a 64-bit architecture (where this problem does not show up), and one with a 32-bit architecture where the text is unreadable on startup. Maximizing the window makes the text readable, but newly added text is typically obscured again.
I guess that the origin of this problem is not gvim-specific because there are other similar bugs. When using gftp the list of files on the activated side (local or remote) is obscured; clicking a file, the text on that line becomes unreadable, while the text in the other window is intact. Moreover, clicking an icon on the xfce desktop makes the text of that icon unreadable, while the text of other icons still can be read. Also these latter two problems occur on the 32-bit machine but not on the 64-bit one. -- gvim corrupts text after Jaunty -> karmic upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/472082 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
