Description Robert Watson 2004-09-28 20:17:33 UTC
Please describe the problem:
A negative-color vertical line appears about halfway across the screen when
launching an application from the panel.

I'm using Gentoo and Gnome2.8.0 This problem also occurred in later versions of 2.6


Steps to reproduce:
1. Put an application launch item on the panel
2. Launch it
3. 


Actual results:
A negative-color vertical line appears about halfway across the screen. I
suspect it has something to do with the zoomrects.

Expected results:
No line should appear

Does this happen every time?
yes

I should note that this doesn't happen if you launch an item from the
applications menu - only from a launcher on the panel itself.

Further the line isn't permanent - dragging a window across it forces the
background to redraw and it goes away. It's just, well, ugly.

I see this too, but my inverted line occurs along the right side of the screen
and only R and G are inverted, not B.
