GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 625299
Big windows not redrawing correctly
Last modified: 2010-10-24 20:42:18 UTC
GooCanvas has a "Large Items" demo that uses a very large window (close to the GDK window size limit). That works fine with GTK+ gtk2-2.20.1-1.fc13.i686, but with GTK+ from git master I'm not getting expose events for any coords above 32768. The testgtk "big windows" demo seems to have the same problem. Try scrolling around near the bottom-right of the scrolled area.
That might be due to a pixman bug that was fixed in 0.19.4. If you're using an older version, could you try it with a more recent one?
Yes, that fixed it. Thanks. Maybe the recommended version for GNOME 3 should be updated: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointNinetyone/ExternalDependencies
