Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-core

Browsing some web pages using a composite manager there are some problems, an example is:
 - http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/index.html

Scroll up and down and you'll see what I mean. In xorg-git there's a fix for it, I've applied to xserver 1.3 and works well.

I'll attach the patch on next comment.

Please attach (as opposed to paste) at least the full Xorg.0.log file of the X server you're seeing the issue with.

I report here because my bug 9458 was marked as a duplicate of this. Bottom line: I cannot reproduce the bug reported here, but I still get the autoscroll garbage I originally reported (tested with latest git compiz), really seems like two different bugs to me....

I believe this was fixed by this commit:
   http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=4fe918b38553133c27e5ae672e5c43984a9bbaea

See

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209336

In particular note that there are two separate bugs here with similar symptoms, one in xorg, and one in gecko. With some effort, the gecko one can be reproduced without a compositing manager; see:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355745

I'll leave this bug open since the release manager may want to consider the commit mentioned above for a stable release - it has been tested in Fedora Core 6 with no problems reported so far.

This is fixed on both gutsy (a patch) and hardy (in upstream xorg-server 1.4). Closing.

Will this patch become available in Ubuntus Repos some time soon?
Or do I have to patch and recompile myself?
