Artifacts on application buttons

Oh, and not present in Breezy, nor Breezy Live.

Are you able to attach a screenshot at all? It may help in indentifying the problem.

The installed version of Dapper that you're running, have you run the update (ie like Synaptic or similar) to make sure it's the latest version of the packages?

I've seen it too. I'm running the latest, as of May 31. It seems to appear when I've got a full color image with preview on the desktop. It appears on buttons with a gradient. It disappears when the button is redrawn. It happens with the Human theme.

HA! Onya Bob, I didn't think to check the other themes. I have now tried
a few others, and all have been fine except the Human theme. Have
reverted to using the Legacy Human theme now.

I hope that helps narrowing down the problem.

I have a Sony Vaio Z1 too and noticed the same thing.

I can also confirm with a non-laptop PC and an ATI Radeon VE.

Only happens with the new default theme and on buttons. Running Dapper with all of the updates (including the recent xorg updates).

I found this problem on a system I installed today. I downloaded all available updates, but it didn't help. The machine is a desktop PC with ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card and if I remember correct, a VIA KT266 chipset (I'm away from the machine now).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducable with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

I have just tried the Gutsy live CD and there are no signs of artifacts at the default colour depth (24bit). The screen is crisp and clear, and bar the fact that the text is so small you can barely read it, it looks fantastic.
