This bug affects Compiz.

** Summary changed:

- No text in some apps
+ No text in some apps when using Compiz

** Description changed:

  Release:
  $ lsb_release -a | grep -i description
  No LSB modules are available.
  Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  
  Package:
  More than one from different types of apps.
  
  Expected:
  Text in all apps to be visible.
  
  Yielded:
  Text in some apps is not visible.
  
  I have found that text in gftp (gFTP 2.0.18) and /usr/games/gnomine
  (gnomine 2.24.1.1) is missing. I can click where the text is supposed to
  be in both apps and the expected behavior is yielded, but the text is
  invisible.
  
  In gftp, I can scroll in either pane and the text for scrolled items
  becomes visible when those items come into view, but clicking on them
  makes text for viewable items disappear again. I suspected it might be a
  problem with my theme so I changed to the Clear Looks theme (shipped
  with Intrepid) and the problem was not resolved.
  
  In /usr/games/gnomine the text for all items is missing. But, if you
  pause and resume the game, the text reappears. Clicking on new squares
  yields missing text again, but the text that is already present from the
  resume remains.. i.e. the user has to click a square, pause and resume,
  click a square, pause and resume, click a square, pause and resume, etc
  in order to see the text properly.
  
  Both apps were installed from the Ubuntu repos.
  
  UPDATE:
  Also, I am using compiz, nVidia graphics (Nidia GeForce 6200) with the nvidia-glx-96 graphics driver installed from the repos. I'm using the 96 driver because both the 173 and 177 drivers gave me blank tty's and the 96 drivers does not.
+ 
+ I went to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, and turned off Visual
+ Effects, then ran gftp again and the above bug is not present. So, this
+ is a bug in Compiz.

** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
