GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 428216
Fullscreen mode does not properly display the photographs
Last modified: 2008-05-03 11:44:58 UTC
Please describe the problem: When in fullscreen mode and going from one picture to another, a small dialog box appears in the lower part of the screen with various control. This small dialog box disappear after a short while. The problem is that the part of the displayed photograph it was hiding should now be visible. But this is not the case, it displays the equivalent part of the previous photograph. I will attached an example screen shot (cropped) to illustrate the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select a picture 2. Display it in fullscreen 3. Use the page down button to switch to the next picture 4. If the new picture is clearly different from the previous, the bug will be visible Actual results: The display is no correct where the small dialog box has disappear. The small dialog box is this rectangle window in the lower part of the screen with various control to go to slideshow or the previous or next window, etc. Expected results: I should see my picture fullscreen with out any corrupted part. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: I do not know if this is relevant or not, but here is my video/graphic configuration: Using Ubuntu Feisty fawn with latest update as of now. Open source radeon driver is properly configured for DRI (3D) Hardware is a ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 on a Dell Latitude D600.

Hi, When the toolbar is shown, can you see through it ? I mean is it transparent ? If no, you probably don't use a composite window manager or don't have a composite enabled xserver... Can you check this ? can you use 3D desktop effects like compiz or beryl ?
Well, I wrote on Launchpad, here's a copy: I can answer for him since I experienced it. You have to turn Compiz off, and use the slideshow (I have not managed to see it with fullscreen). This is difficult to get, I haven't really determined when this occurs. Looks like you get it when the bar is hiding at the very moment when the photo is changing (maybe with fade). Note (I don't know whether this may be related) that the zone filling the space between the rounded corners of the bar and the corners of the rectangle it fits in are *black*, which is ugly (still without compositing).
Now, I can't even see a real fullscreen (standard or slideshow). I only get it in a little rectangle (same as before), but now in the right-bottom corner. The fullscreen never comes (before it appeared after a while). I really don't know what happened, random or one of the many updates in Ubuntu Gutsy (e.g. compiz)
With version 0.4.2, fullscreen appears to work, according to me and another reporter. What is still buggy is the slideshow *when compiz is on*: first a little rectangle appears (this is not always the case), and the slideshows starts in it, and then after about 10 seconds the real fullscreen is used, but still strange grey/black rectangles flash on the image. With metacity and no compositor everything goes right.
I fixed some stuffs for fullscreen with compiz in 0.4.3 (and 0.4.3.1). am closing this bug, reopen if it doesn't work for you
