Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Steps to reproduce:

-login with activated desktop-effects or turn it on.
-press on a round application-launcher icon. (top panel, near system menue) (take the Help-icon and a dark desktop-background for better contrast)

after pressing the icon, the icon should "zoom out" fluently,
BUT only the FIRST TIME starting this animation, there appears a UGLY GREY BOX jittering around the zooming icon. (only for about 0,5sec) (the area should be fully and clean transparent!)

-press the icon again, and everything works good.

I have noticed this Bug on following systems:

Ubuntu 8.04.1 64-bit, nvidia,
Ubuntu 8.04.1 32-bit, intel,
both fresh installed.

it's barrely noticable, could you open a bug about that on bugzilla.gnome.org where people reading the code if you care about that, the ubuntu doesn't have the ressources to work on such details

I think, it is fixed in Intrepid Alpha-5
Can anyone confirm? (Fix released??)

no. I have no gnome account. (and I don't want one yet.)

the bug should be sent upstream by somebody having the issue, anybody else wanting to do that?

Forwarded upstream, but I have misgiving that this is more a compiz related bug.

I am now on "new" hardware:

nvidia 9600MGT with prop. 180 driver

(on Intrepid)

I think this bug is fixed for me. (never seen this issue again)
