Bug Description

Running on Arch Linux, after the upgrade xorg-server (1.16.4-1 -> 1.17.1-1) I noticed graphical issues when the dock enters the hidden state:

$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Chelsea XT GL [FirePro M4000]

The ATI drivers have been updated as well: xf86-video-ati (1:7.5.0-1 -> 1:7.5.0-2)

The internal CairoImageSurface has the size of dock window and therefore only fits completely when put at 0,0. If shifted areas which don't fit the target region get flipped. Drawing it without any shifting onto the CairoContext given by gtk+ solves the reported issue.

The problem might be related to the specific combination of cairo/ati-ddx/xserver.

This is likely a bug with the common ddx layer, glamor, which got integrated in xserver >= 1.17.
