Description Charlie Kravetz 2011-01-30 16:26:49 UTC 
This bug has been reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416279

When selecting the screen magnifier in GDM, there are visual artifacts where the background should be. Also, the magnified cursor image is corrupted. See attached image.

Architecture: amd64
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10
Package: gnome-mag 1:0.15.8-0ubuntu1

ProcEnviron:
 PATH=(custom, user)
 LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash

This is a problem for me as well in Lucid(Ubuntu 10.04). This happens when I run the magnifier from the command line, as above, and also when I run it from the Accessibility Options menu in GDM. The latter case is especially damaging, because the corrupted magnifier window covers the Accessibility menu, making it very hard to turn the magnifier off.

gnome-mag development has been stalled and it has been replaced by gnome-shell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.
