cursor redraw lingers

Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

With epiphany 2.17.92 on AMD64 the cursor re-drawing is faulty. When typing some text
and then going back on the line with <Left> the cursor pipe symbol isn't properly removed.
In ascii art this yields: a|b|B|B|C|C
which is quite annoying.

This is only in webforms - so it may wel be a gecko problem.

I've enabled a non-blinking cursor in gnome - epiphany doesn't honor this setting for webpages, but
that's another bugreport.

Thanks for your bug report. Which cursor theme do you use? Can you make a screencast of the problem and uploda it here? (Maybe use byzanz or istanbul for that.)
I can't confirm the problem with amd64 feisty.

Cursor theme? The mouse cursor theme is human - I've never touched any other
settings.

I'm attaching a screencast, where I type something in google and them move the cursor to the left and right. This is in ogg.

Even with a blinking cursor enabled, the problem persists. In firefox the cursor
redraw in the entire application is as weird (also in the address bar).

Could this be an X issue?

Hmmm, I've changed my X setup to use the closed source nvidia module and that
makes the issue disappear.

Haven't seen it again, neither with the oss nv driver, nor the closed source one.
