Window contents flickering [Solved]

I have a problem with windows 'flickering'. Simply, when I use Blender or FreeCAD or Stellarium, contents of the window flickering when I move the mouse.
Software seems to work well (no errors or warnings), but I can't do anything.
I use Compiz standalone + fglrx 12.4 + xorg 1.11
Any sugestions, how to fix it?
Thanks
Edit:
The flickering looks like this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3837977/freecad.ogv
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3837977/stellarium.ogv
Edit2:
Anyone?
Edit3:
Partially solved.
There was problem with direct rendering. Glxinfo prints:
direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
so i need to run:
unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
and then run freecad or blender from command line.

Happens to me all the time -- in Safari and Twitter.app. In fact, when I registered with Support Communities just a few minutes ago, to reply to your comment, I had the exact same problem -- the Safari window didn't update while in focus. I had to click somewhere else and then come back to this window in order to complete the registration.
Rather annoying issue!

  • Show Windows contents while dragging disabled after standby

    I have noticed that the option "Show windows contents while dragging" gets disabled after I close the lid to put the machine into standby (hibernation disabled) and then open it again. Does anyone know what to do in order do disable that annoying feature?

    The way to solve this problem, is demonstrated by the following code:
    JDesktopPane desktopPane = new JDesktopPane();
    desktopPane.putClientProperty("JDesktopPane.dragMode", "outline");This will then set all of the internal frames to outline mode when the frames are dragged instead of sluggishly drawing the components with the internal frames when dragged.
    Hope this helps

  • Installation Question CS4 Master Collection (Windows Content CD)

    I am running Windows Vista Utlimate SP1-32 bit
    I have installed CD's 1 thru 4 with no issues.  I installed the last CD in the package (it is labeled WINDOWS CONTENT). When I attempt to install this CD, the auto-run feature generates an error message that says "Application not found".  I can access the files through explorer, but I can't get the things to install.
    I am also a VERY new user to Creative Suite.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The content is just a collection of goodies that may or may not interest you. Once you get familiar with the individual programs you'll know what to do with the disk. Just keep it handy and check it out from time to time and you'll start to understand what's on there.

  • JAVA GUI window content does not fill out when window is enlarged (Win,Mac)

    I've been using the SAP JAVA GUI on a Windows XP workstation as well as a couple of MacBooks running OS X over the last year and a half or so, running versions from 7.10 r 7(maybe earlier) thru 7.10 r 10 (installed today.) The GUI has performed generally well on these platforms, but has one major irritation.
    When I open certain pop-up windows, such as the SPAD [List of Output Requests > Status Description |http://img171.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20091006at241.png/|screenshot], it usually does not open a  large enough window to display all the data - one must scroll horizontally and/or vertically to see the entire window content.  The real aggravation is that if [one enlarges the window|http://img101.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20091006at242.png/|screenshot] so as to see more data, the resizing is ignored.  The contents of the window are still displayed within the original window boundaries instead of filling out the expanded window.   It is not possible to get the entire window contents displayed, it is still necessary to scroll around.
    What am I missing here?   How can I get window resizing to work correctly?   (Or is there a way to make such windows at least open up at a larger initial size??)
    I only found one other thread in this forum, Sap gui screen size in ubuntu., which seemed to be addressing the same problem, but the suggestion was to apply the latest patch to the GUI and get JAVA 1.6.   One would think that since that post in 2008, any patches would have made it into the latest revisions.  I'm already running Java 1.6.

  • Finder/Window-Content not responding to changes and doesn't refresh

    Hi,
    i have a very strange Problem with the Finder since i upgraded to 10.6.4. The Finder doesn't react to changes from certain Applications.
    I noticed the effect in the Folder 'Downloads', f.e. if i try to download a file. Usually two files appear, the intended file with 0 kB and another temporary file. After the download is complete the temporary file will be deleted and only one file remains.
    Usually the whole process is visible and shown in the finder window. After the update it isn't which means that if i download a file, the Window content does not reflect the changes and the new files are not shown, even after the download is complete. To see the new files i have to trigger a change, either by creating a new folder or by changing the location (moving up a level).
    Interesting enough this only happens with certain Applications like Firefox or 'the Unarchiever' (a compression tool). If i download a file with Safari the temporary files and the downloaded files are shown in the window content without manually triggering a change. If i use 'keka' (another compression tool) the changes are also immediatly shown.
    In order to narrow down possible errors i have taken different approaches:
    a) i intently scanned and watched the console and read all error reports. There are no errors shown (with firefox or the unarchiever).
    b) I created a new user profile and the effects are the same.
    c) i ran 'disk utilities' and scanned the Access priviliges. Apart from the common problem within /system/java/... there are no problems
    d) i ran 'onxy' to clean the user and system cache. I rebuild the LaunchService Database.
    I didn't fix my Problem.
    That leads me to conclude that the problem is located in some system-function which is correctly triggered by some applications and apparently not by others.
    My Questions:
    1. Does anyone else has this problem and possibly a fix?
    2. Does anyone know how the finder is triggered by applications in order to refresh a window?
    tia,
    jc

    Hi Jeanclaude,
    You've described the problem well and took some excellent troubleshooting steps
    b) When you created the new profile, were you still engaging your third party apps, or are they installed in log-in items?
    1. It would be interesting to try a Safe Mode startup (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    2 If step 1 doesn't turn up anything, re-install from your 10.6.x install disk (10.6 has the ability to "install in place" without touching anything other than system specific files.) Just pop in the disk, double-click and follow the prompts. Remember to uncheck language localizations if you don't use them & Printers except the one/ones you use.
    Let us know your results after these 2 steps.

  • How can I get my OS X Mavericks finder window contents to scroll?

    Since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks I've noticed that I can't do the 2-finger scrolling through my finder window contents any more - any one know how to turn it on again?
    (I have scroll bars set to always in syspref)

    Oh sorry - yes I have - I made sure all my settings were identical to what I had set up on my old (OS X 8.5) macbook including the track pad.
    I can scroll everywhere else (chrome/windows/evernote/notes etc) except in the finder window - and as I'm always grabbing stuff from there it's quite annoying.

  • A bug in Hide Caption Titlebar Plus (2.4.x) causes browser borders to toggle and window content to jump and no addon setting affects this. Can I do anything to fix this except disable the addon?

    Hide Caption Titlebar causes the window content to be displaced when mousing over certain areas and controls. These areas includes mousing over the left window edge as well as leaving any control on the topmost area (buttons, location bar, search bar or tab).
    When this happens the window content is shifted right and up, approx 10 and 5 pixels, respectively, and a border to be displayed around the full inside of the window area, overwriting existing contents, the border being thicker to the left and bottom, and thinnest to the top. This border disappears after about half a second and the content is shifted back to its original position.
    This bug has followed me since FF4 and only disabling the addon makes the glitch go away.

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by

    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

  • Save/Restore Window content when hidden by other window

    I developed a swing application under UNIX/Linux.
    I have the problem, that the window content is not saved, when the window was hidden by another window. As soon as the swing window becomes (partly) visible again, paint() will be called, instead of restoring the previous content.
    I know, that the XServer has this possibility to save the window content. How can I configure this behaviour under Java/Swing?
    I tried do emulate this behaviour by first drawing into an offscreen buffer and then place this buffered image onto the frame, but it takes a lot of time and results in undesireable delays.
    Thanks for any idea,
    Alex.

    I would most like suggest that you open a support ticket.  It sounds as though something is wrong with the rendering output.  You shouldn't really be able to create such an incorrect rendering situation in the closed Web Dynpro framework.

  • Disabling 'Show window contents while dragging' also disables window snap - is there a workaround?

    When I disable 'Show window contents while dragging' in Performance Options, it also automatically disables the ability to snap windows the left and right and corners by dragging them. I have an older computer, and disabling this really improves the performance,
    but I'd really like to keep the ability to snap the windows around, as it's one of my favorite features.
    Is there a way to just disable showing window contents while dragging without disabling the window snap feature?

    Hey there. I've been trying to figure out why my snap wasn't working, and this is the only post I've found that mentioned it.
    I found snap wasn't working on my machines sometimes and realised it happens after I start an RDP session which disables the "show window contents while dragging" option, but then doesn't seem to enable it properly after the session ends.
    When I check the option, it is already ticked, so I need to untick and re-tick, then apply and snap starts working again.
    I don't know if there is any connection with the "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" option under the mouse ease of access settings.
    It does seem like a new issue though as it doesn't happen under Win8

  • Weboverlay Windows Content Viewer

    Hi all,
    We're using a weboverlay with quite complex HTML and Javascript in our folio. On iPad and Android it works perfectly, on the Windows tablet browser IE11 it also works completely. But in the Windows Content Viewer, it's messed up.
    So my question is: which browser is used in the Windows content viewer for weboverlays?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Nick

    It's a fully-supported, production ready, viewer. Definitely not beta
    Can you post a screenshot of the problem you're seeing?

  • [SOLVED] xterm: redraws window slowly / flickers

    The problem is most obvious when reading man pages in xterm. After each action that causes the window to be redrawn (like page down) it can be clearly seen how the redrawing is not instant. It takes only a tenth of a second but the flickering can be clearly seen. Another example is wget which refreshes its output continuously: the window flickers on each update.
    In contrast, urxvt redraws its window without any flickering.
    Anything I can do about it?

    While that indeed sounds familiar and I would love to have it fixed, it is not what this thread is intended to be about.
    Here, I was talking about the time it takes to redraw the screen in xterm versus urxvt. The former to be so slow that it is flickering.
    EDIT: Some update seems to have fixed this issue.

  • Screen resolution changed automatically after flickering [Solved]

    Hello, I've got a little problem here...
    My original resolution was 1280x1024
    Here's what happened:
    I was using my PC and then the screen suddenly went black and then "No signal" well y had to disconnect and reconnect the monitor, turned it on again, and everything was working just perfectly. I finished and then shutted down the PC.
    After a while (around 2 hours later) I turned it on again and there it was, same as always 1280x1024 and running smoothly, 10 min later the screen flickers and I get a 1024x768, I try to get back to 1280x1024 but it doesn't recognize it anymore (KDE SC SystemSettings) then I try with "xrandr -s" and I get a "no mode available", well I had stuff to do so I shutdown and leave...
    I turn it on again hoping that it had automagically reconfigured itself, but there's no luck... I try to do some magic with a xorg.conf buth I fail, well I get sick and reinstall arch completely, from scratch...
    And now, I just don't know what to do, after a clean install and with a new user it still only displays 1024x768 as the highest resolution available, the drivers are installed and everything is up-to-date.
    My video card is an Motherboard Integrated Ati Radeon Xpress X200.
    I've got xf86-video-ati drivers installed and updated.
    The newest kernel available in arch repos.
    I just can't track the problem to its source
    BTW, I don't think it's a hardware problem because in my Windows partition it works just fine (1280x1024 display) so I don't really know what to do...
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    SOLVED!!
    Well, kinda...
    I just did this:
    Take a look at Xrandr Wiki Article
    cvt 1280 1024
    xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync
    xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024_60.00
    Now xrandr detects 1280x1024 as an available resolution so I just:
    xrandr -s 1280x1024_60.00
    And hopefully now it's all solved, I'll reboot right now to see how things go...
    BTW, plk, thanks for your answer, it was a lonely place here
    Edit:
    Stupid me, I forgot to add the canges to X... I've done it and now everything works smoothly

  • Gnome 3 maximised windows constant flickering

    Hi guys,
    New arch user here but with quite a few years of gentoo daily usage. I have decided to switch to Atch and I am quite happy with the so far... however I am hitting a nagging problem which I did not see described anywhere in the forum (or in google search results).
    Inside Gnome whenever I maximise a window, such as Firefox or Gedit or Nautilus, that frame (window) flickers constantly and sometimes simply goes blank (as in, totally white). The gnome shell top bar remains there all the time.
    I can also see a few odd and interesitng behaviours.
    1. this behavour does not occurr if the window is not maximised, even if it is resized manually to take all desktop space it does not flicker.
    2. if I switch to the gnome dark theme (using the tweak tool) then the gnome native apps like Gedit and Nautilus no longer flicker, it all returns to normal
    3. in gnome-terminal, and while using the white theme only the window top bar flickers, not the terminal are itself. Once again swithching to the dark theme solves the problem
    4. I tried to do a screencast to better ilustrate the problem and to my desbelief when I played it back the flickers where not visible on the video even though I saw them while recording
    My first reaction was to play around with the driver options and I tried pretty much everything including disabling hardware acceleration but it did not improve things.
    I then installed another window and desktop manager. Openbox+LXDE, and I could not see the problem anymore. At this point I started to suspect that either gnome-shell or mutter (the window manager) were playing tricks so I launched a standalone mutter session (whithout gnome-shell) and put an xterm on it. If I maximise the xterm then the whole window (frame) goes blank... (same behaviour as seen above)
    So I have a feeling it is the window manager but I am a bit stuck on what to do next to diagnose the actual problem. Mutter is pretty much locked up.
    Has anyone came across this issue before?
    A few details on my setup:
    Asus Zenbook UX301 with an Intel Iris 5100 card
    Kernel version: 3.15.7-1 (standard arch build)
    And the graphics stack:
      intel-dri 10.2.4-1
      xf86-video-intel 2.99.914-1
      xorg-server 1.16.0-5
      gdm 3.12.2-1
      mutter 3.12.2-1
      gnome-shell 3.12.2-1
    NOTE: I am running a "custom" version of cairo (compiled from their git repo) in order to take advantage of the recent HiDPI support in Gnome but I can tell this problem existed even without this custom versions, that is, while using the compiled version from extra.

    RE: ooo
    Yes I regonise those sporadic flashes. In fact, it all started out with those flashes once in a while, again on maximised windows mainly and then the flickering got more frequent, now being constant. Interesting that I saw some of these with xorg-server-1.15* as well.
    I have tried playing around with the driver options, including switching to UXA or even disabling accelaration entirely and unfortunately it does not seem to help and of course you are right, there is a noticiable drop in performance compared to SNA.
    At the moment, I am still running gnome shell with the dark theme which mitigates the problem... not sure why. However apps such as Firefox or Chrome are not affected by this "colour scheme change" and therefore continue with white title bars and displaying the problem.
    I am surprised I don't see more users complaining about the problem since Intel cards are quite widespread these days. Perhaos we will see more as people ugrade to xorg 1.16
    This probably does not affect all cards and potentially with different severities. The only other thing that may have an impact is resolution, I have a 2560x1440 display.
