Public bug reported: Creating a window with no pixmap and no bg color when using a compositor in Ubuntui Edgy returns a pixmap with random data.
Without a compositor, creating a window w/out a back pixmap nor a bg color gives a windows inheriting underlying content (ie whatever was under the window at the time of creation). When running a compositor with Xorg 7.0 in Dapper, it works the same. But when running a compositor with Xorg 7.1 in Edgy, the window shows with random data, not unlike an uninitialized pixmap... This is a problem because many apps, like gtk+, create its top level windows w/out bg pixmap or pixel and it shows when running a compositor I reported this to the Xorg guys, along with a test case and relevant screenshots, but I've been told that it works fine with their version, and that's a bug with a patch applied by the distribution. Please see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8558 for a complete report with test case and screenshots. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Window with no background contains random data with composite https://launchpad.net/bugs/64910 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
