lcampagn, how quickly were you moving the window at the time? I have to move the window pretty fast to get the distortion as bad as in the screenshot. I still notice it 'by eye' when moving windows normally, I can easily ignore it in daily use; does it tear to the degree in your screenshot during regular use? Also, what hardware are your other computers that have the issue? Do you use compiz on them? And are they running any restricted drivers?

I would like to ask upstream about this just to have their input on it, but before that I want to try and isolate our issue a bit more. It really could be that we have totally different bugs with the same symptoms, but from your screenshot, it seems the same to me, I just happened to be moving my window faster and in circles producing more exaggerated tears.

To recreate the screenshot, I use the Applications > Take screenshot with a delay of 3 seconds. After I click ok I then grab any window and quickly drag it in circles around my screen until the screenshot is taken.

I don't think it is only a compiz problem, because the screenshot I attached here is using the Vesa drivers. The next attachment will be my xorg.conf.
