In all cases, I'm using the commercial nvidia drivers supplied by ubuntu (for precise, version 295.20; for 11.10, version 280.13), so I'm not sure if the problem is the new X, or the new drivers.
Before I go reporting an ubuntu bug, or jamming newer drivers into my older ubuntu system, has anybody else noticed this?
Hello Dan,
Chances are good you're hitting nVIDIA drivers bug: it had been reported on "official nVIDIA Linux support forum" (nvnews.net) that since around 295.17+ there are a lot of corrupted rendering of UI elements, especially for Gtk2/3 apps. For 295.20 there are several other bug reports available, both on nvnews forums and in Wine's Bugzilla, not directly related to "corrupted rendering" problem, but rather about unexpected crashes in apps which had been working good previously with the older driver version.
As for me - since I had moved from 280.13 into using drivers 295.17 (had to skip all versions in-between due to various rendering bugs they had introduced when playing games under Wine) I had noticed some rendering issues in apps which use accelerated GPU rendering to do compositing (recent versions of Firefox and Thunderbird and Google Chrome). Tomorrow I'm going to give 295.20 a test - there's bug report about "Rage" game crashing with this driver version under Linux/Wine I want to reproduce - and in case 295.20 would cause crashed and/or rendering bugs on my PC I'm going to revert back to 280.13 or to the latest driver from 275.x series.
