Description Michael Monreal 2006-12-27 03:06:04 UTC 
First off, I'm running xorg 7.2 from Ubuntu Edgy and latest compiz from git.

Problem: when I use autoscroll in Firefox (has to be activated in preferences,
then press the wheel button and move mouse up/down) the autoscroll graphic is
duplicated all over again and not "cleared" from the screen.

I'll attach a screenshot to illustrate the problem.

This is how the webpage (compiz forums) looks like after scrolling up and down.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Michael,
You said in bug 8871 that you "cannot reproduce the bug reported here, but I still get the autoscroll garbage I originally reported (tested with latest git compiz)."  Which server version did you test with?
Comment 5 Michael Monreal 2007-05-03 13:42:09 UTC 
I'm running Xorg 7.2, the one shipping with Ubuntu Feisty (Version: -ubuntu11)
Using the NVidia (beta?) binary driver 100.14.03 though... but I ran various stable versions before that, and I noticed this bug ever since I occationally used Compiz (which is for a year now).

I should note that the bug reported here does not occur on every webpage. It happens on this bugzilla page for example.

The change that I suspect fixed this was to the server in the master branch.  I wouldn't expect it to work on xorg 7.2.

Awww... didn't notice the other bug was an xorg bug, I thought you were refering to a change in compiz.
