screen shot of artifacts gone after forced screen redraw
Hi, Just to make the instructions on how to reproduce it clearer: On a Linux build: 1. enter a long line of text using any proportional font in Writer 2. Move the cursor into that line of text 3. delete a char using the delete key 4. start moving the cursor farther down the sentence using the arrow keys 5. repeat steps 3 and 4 and you should begin to see a trail of pieces of characters and stange artifacts left behind as the cursor is moved. It almost seems as if the character under the cursor is being redrawn incorrectly as the cursor passes over after a deletion has been made. Hope this helps to recreate this. Kevin I just installed RC4, but i cannot reproduce it; my system is SuSE 8.2; XFree4.3.0 (with RENDER of course); i tried a libfreetyp.so.6.3.3 as well as a libfreetype.so.6.3.2 and used Bitstream Vera Serif as well as Bitstream Vera Sans trying to reproduce this. Apart from OOo itself i could imagine either the RENDER code itself or freetype being responsible for this; from you mails on releases.ooo i gather that you are using XFree4.3. Hi, Closing this as INVALID since the bug is not in OOo but in the Radeon driver that is part of XFree86 4.3.0. Once I converted to the old/slow "fbdev" driver the artifacts went competely away and OOo looks wonderful! Sorry for the false alarm but I never saw this on earlier builds and so I thought it must be OOo related and not XFree86 driver related. Thanks, Sorry to be such a pain here. Kevin I'm relieved that the problem is solved. But i also hope that you won't be stuck with the fbdev driver for long as it's quite slow :-) Hi, Luck is with me today, it seems if I enable "dri" in my /etc/X11/XF86Config and the radeon driver (accelerated), now it all works fine!!!! So I can be fast and have 3D or slow fbdev and it all works, I just can't be fast with dri not loaded. This is so strange. Anyway, I helped write some of the acceleration code for the old ati mach 64 for the old Xpmac server, so as long as the Radeon is not that much different, I should be able to track something down. Thanks, Kevin closed |
