Re: compton issue

Does Iceweasel behave the same way?  How about any other apps?

Re: compton issue

Welcome to CrunchBang!

Does the resize problem happen with just Opera, or with other applications as well?  If it happens with other apps, I'd guess this is a GPU issue...

Re: compton issue

you could try to launch opera with the -noargb parameter.

Press ALT + F2

opera -noargb

Re: compton issue

i get the same sorta thing on chrome. fixes itself after a while.

this is from going from a window to maximised;

so probably not the same problem...

although it does go away if i disable compton.

Re: compton issue

I start Chrome maximised and the desktop still shows through the browser like above pictures.

Once I navigate to a page the screen seems to 'refresh' and all is fine.

Does not happen with compositing disabled.

Re: compton issue

I had/have this problem using xcompmgr and compton with Arch and Openbox.  I haven't had it with Crunchbang, but there's a bug somewhere, either in the graphics driver or compton and xcompmgr (and xcompmgr-dana) that hasn't been found or fixed yet.  It doesn't exist with Compiz, KWin, or XFWM's compositors, though.  Just thought I'd share my two cents.

The same with Iceweasel. Thunar window seems ok.

I've got the same trouble at my another oldschool amd. Annoying bug.

hmm. I noticed that the problem is caused by Opera theme. When I changed it to default problem is gone.

Re: compton issue

I think there was an update to compton this week and it's helped. Although when Chrome first opens the problem still seems to exist, after a second or two the screen 'refreshes' and all is well.
