GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 709036
Visual glitches in activities overview with live usb
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:34:05 UTC
I have this issue with every gnome live usb. Intel Core2 CPU 6300 1.86GHz || RAM 2001 MiB || ASUS INC. P5B-VM nVidia G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] [10de:0393] {nvidia} The screen is flickering whether I move my cursor. Also I boot the live usbs directly to my pc. I meet this behavior on Ubuntu Gnome 13.10, openSUSE factory and Fedora Rawhide.
Created attachment 256020 [details] openSUSE 13.1
I forgot to mention that I have this issue only in activities menu. Specificly between hitting activities button and choosing an app.
Can you describe the flicker? I notice that the background is black, does it flicker between the real background and black? This sort of sounds like a graphics driver issue. Are you seeing it with the nvidia proprietary driver or nouveau? Does the live usb here: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/misc/promo-usb/gnome-3.10.iso also exhibit the problem?
When I move my cursor the brightness of the screen goes up like a camera's strobe light. Also grey rectangles appears wher the cursor points. Is there any way to make a video from my screen? I'm seeing this only with nouveau, I didn't trιed with with proprietary driver yet. I'm downloading the iso now.
I downloaded the iso and I have some additions! The flicker is gone! But, I see this colour http://goo.gl/0yP8WP when I move my cursor in those buttons: Activities menu buttons: "Frequent - All" "cancel - Restart - Power off" buttons
I've tested Mageia-4-alpha3 with live usb and Nvidia drivers v.304.108 preinstalled. See the results in the video that I'll upload.

I'm testing latest Fedora 20 nightly and the the glitch in comment five continues to appear when I highlight these buttons with my cursor with nouveau. http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
