GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 492529
Background image corrupted
Last modified: 2010-01-06 17:21:32 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm using Fedora 7 x64. CompizFusion is installed but even when Metacity is used as Window Manager, the problem still occurs. When I set an image as background in Nautilus, the image gets slightly corrupted if I resize the Nautilus window larger than it was when I set the background image. Besides, and more annoying, the background image is heavily corrupted if I switch from icon to list view and back to icon view. The view is almost unreadable. I have to stop Nautilus and restart it to get back a proper background. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set a background image in Nautilus. 2. Switch to list view => display is fine 3. Switch back to icon view => the background image is heavily corrupted Actual results: The background image, which is only displayed for folders in icon view, is heavily corrupted, such that the icon text gets usually unreadable. Expected results: The background image should remain clean. Does this happen every time? Yes. Whatever the background image (even standard background images available from Nautilus). Other information:
I have exactly the same problem on fc7 i386 (32bit) with nautilus 2.18.3-1 and gnome 2.18.3.
Still an issue with nautilus 2.21.90; https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/191220

I have the same problem on: fedora-release-8.92-1.noarch 32-bit nautilus-2.22.0-2.fc9.i386
This issue first came up in Fedora 7, and then it also affected other distros (beginning with eel 2.21). I think this has to do with the move of EelBackground to GnomeBG. Fedora 7 had been patched: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/eel2/F-7/ eel2-2.18.0.1-gnome-bg.patch And on 2007-11-28 this patch went upstream: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/eel?view=revision&revision=1994 I am moving this bug report to eel and CCing Søren Sandmann who wrote eel/GnomeBG code.

Søren: Ping?
I can't reproduce this with svn trunk
I can reproduce it reliably with Nautilus trunk and GNOME 2.22 platform libraries.
With svn trunk of gnome-desktop?
Thanks, switching to gnome-desktop trunk fixed it. I did not expect that a huge amount of gnome-bg patch sets has been committed during the last months. According to viewvc, the following commit might have fixed the issue [in case a distributor wants to backport the changes]: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-desktop?view=revision&revision=5082 Closing.

doing some testing http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-desktop?view=revision&revision=5076 seems to have fixed the issue, not a trivial change to backport to stable version though

I can still reproduce this problem with nautilus 2.28.0 in openSUSE 11.2 with Propaganda seamless tiles: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/artwork://wallpapers/
Created attachment 148162 [details] screenshot Screenshot of corrupted background.
Created attachment 148164 [details] Corrected-Speed-1.jpg Corrected-Speed-1.jpg from Propaganda vol. 8 is the background that causes this problem.
OK, reported as a new bug 604928 for GNOME 2.28.
