GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 658727
Application scrolling still has major graphical glitches, even more in Large text mode
Last modified: 2011-09-11 16:16:51 UTC
The application view in gnome-shell still faces some major graphical glitches when scrolling. I think it started when i enabled large text mode (then that transparent line comes back). But also in normal text size the scroll bar has some upper glitches. Using 3.1.91
Distro? Graphics card? Driver version?
Okay it's not MAJOR but it's not good. Latest Gallium3D AMD drivers I it was mesa 7.11.something. I tried a nightly Fedora 16 build and updated gnome-shell. It really seems to be a shell thing and not driver but I might be wrong. It's all about that transparent line showing up, nothing is flickering. I think it was drawn correctly till I tried the large text mode.
I can boot it again and take some screens if you need.

I made a Picasa album with descriptions: https://picasaweb.google.com/112496710786458945523/GnomeShell3191Glitches?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCKDsz_SV1_bpJQ&feat=directlink glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV710 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 I'm using a "1080p" screen.
Everything else actually seems really stable and doesn't flicker or behave as if there was driver issues. I can even play 3d games with no trouble. It just seems like you have misplaced the top blended gradient in some weird way in that applications view.
Why are reporting this again? You already did in bug 657656. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 652169 ***
Because thats for 3.0.x and it has obviously been "fixed" by someone who missed that small artifact on the scrollbar. Now I'm reporting about large text mode and even though someone did fix that transparent line, that someone missed the artifact on the scroll bar. Okay I could have continued on the last bug but I thought that one was resolved because it disappeared from My Bugs and I kind of forgot it. Anyhow - now you got a whole album of screens showing exactly what is wrong with the latest version.

It works for others (I just tested in Large Text mode on my Ironlake and nvidia computers). It's almost guaranteed it's a problem with your graphics drivers. Please file a bug with Mesa, as I advised last time.
The bug is even fixed in mesa master as I noticed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652169#c16. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 652169 ***
