224103 - Mozilla does not repaint when changing workspaces in X

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[David Hagood]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

I have the Mozilla browser window open on one workspace under the Sawfish window
manager, and the Mail/News window open on another workspace.

When I change from the workspace that contains Mail/News to the workspace that
contains the browser or vise versa, not all of the window items repaint.

If I change to a workspace that contains no Mozilla windows, then to one that
does, the windows repaint (e.g. Browser -> (no mozilla window) -> Mail works).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup multiple workspaces under Sawfish.
2. Open browser and mail/news windows
3. Change workspaces.
4. Using the Gnome pager, drag the Mail/News window to the new workspace.
5. Switch back to the workspace containing Mozilla's browswer window.

Actual Results:  
Parts of the window will be redrawn, but items such as Mozilla's menu bar won't
be. Moving the mouse over the area where the menu bar should be will cause the
buttons to be drawn as the mouse passes over them

Expected Results:  
Redrawn the whole window.
