Description Charlie Kravetz 2011-02-13 17:35:36 UTC 
This bug has been reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717980

The problem with the screen magnifier is related to expansion of menus and overlapping Windows.

To simulate the problem, run the command "magnifier -vm", open two windows (Nautilus, Firefox, ...) and try viewing the windows open or navigate the GNOME menu with maximized windows.

To circumvent the problem:: magnifier -vm --ignore-damage

Comment 1 Akhil Laddha 2011-10-14 10:48:09 UTC 
gnome-mag development has been stalled and it has been replaced by gnome-shell
mag [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX.
