234409 - Screen does not refresh when switching desktop spaces

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Beamer]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

I am running RH 9.0 in the GNOME desktop.  I have 4 workspaces.  When I switch
over to another workspace (other than the one Firefox is in) and I come back. 
The firefox screen shows me the content of the previous workspace and I have to
scroll around to get it to refresh.  I just updated from Firebird 0.6 and this
did not happen before the update.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a firefox window and browse any website
2. Switch to workspace 2 and open another application
3. Switch back to workspace 1 and you will see the firefox title bar with the
content of the application on workspace 2.

Actual Results:  
Even the Firefox toolbar is missing.  Using the scroll bar to move up and down
will cause the screen to refresh.

Expected Results:  
Automatically refresh the screen to the current workspace

This sounds a lot like bug 224103, but that's for Seamonkey.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
