clutter views not updated correctly with the new clutter

This only seems to effect applications that use clutter-gtk, those that call clutter directly (i.e. clutter_stage_get_default) don't have any issues.

The stage does draw once, but after that the program hangs (gdb just shows it's waiting on poll()). I'm not sure if it could be something to with the xembed'ing of the clutterstage.

I will try and compile a small gtk-gl program (which also xembeds the gl window) to see if its something to do with that.

Didier, I'm subscribing you so you know about the issue in case you run into it or into unity user comments about it

This might be related to the upstream bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28573 which should be mostly resolved by upgrading to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.12.

I see that it's been re-opened since I last looked at it :).

the issue doesn't seem a driver one

<Sarvatt> dont suppose http://git.clutter-project.org/clutter-gtk/commit/?id=d50240f524870fd80b2cc5bb96a7bf9b8e10c754 might be related?

indeed that change fixes the issue

Changing the priority to low, that issue doesn't affect unity session but only unity run in debug mode under GNOME and setting the CLUTTER_VBLANK=none workaround it

Updating clutter-gtk-0.10 to 0.10.8 fixes this issue.

This also affect champlain BTW
