Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

In full screen mode, the display starts flashing after a random period. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few seconds. It does not matter if full screen is chosen through F11 or a slide show throufg F5 (or by clicking one of these menu items).
EoG keeps working, burt the top button bar is displayed and hidden for a fraction of a second, like a flash light.

Same here too, using ATI 9600XT with -ati free driver and Compiz.

Only happens with Compiz (i.e. using Normal or Extra effects). Without effects, EOG in full screen and slideshow modes does not flashes and works ok.

The flashing starts when EOG is in full screen and attempts to hide its top menu bar; it disappears briefly, then reappears, then disappears, etc., all with flashing, as Mart said.

The flashing looks like a lot of redraws of the screen (and rectangular portions of it) while EOG is trying to hide the menu bar. Seems as if the window manager (Compiz) and EOG where contending for the screen.

I think it didn't happen in Gutsy alphas, with or without Compiz. Might be related to compiz 0.6? (just wondering, don't know for sure).

Compiz works ok here, either with normal or extra effects.
