Description Carlos Eduardo Rodrigues Diógenes 2006-11-02 21:29:05 UTC
with the metacity compositor running run epiphany and open this page:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/index.html

now scroll-down the page and then scroll-up. The top header "Glib Reference
Manual" is rendered a lot of times, occupying the html page space.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Comment 2 Michel Dänzer 2007-04-26 00:30:51 UTC
Please attach (as opposed to paste) at least the full Xorg.0.log file of the X server you're seeing the issue with.

Commit 4fe918b38553133c27e5ae672e5c43984a9bbaea should resolve this.

Comment 8 Michael Monreal 2007-05-03 11:16:29 UTC
I report here because my bug 9458 was marked as a duplicate of this. Bottom line: I cannot reproduce the bug reported here, but I still get the autoscroll garbage I originally reported (tested with latest git compiz), really seems like two different bugs to me....
Comment 9 Søren Sandmann Pedersen 2007-05-04 06:40:26 UTC
I believe this was fixed by this commit:
   http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=4fe918b38553133c27e5ae672e5c43984a9bbaea

See 

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209336

In particular note that there are two separate bugs here with similar symptoms,  one in xorg, and one in gecko. With some effort, the gecko one can be reproduced without a compositing manager; see:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355745

I'll leave this bug open since the release manager may want to consider the commit mentioned above for a stable release - it has been tested in Fedora Core 6 with no problems reported so far.
