[Bug 50768] Re: Strange artifacts in text fields within gtk applications in X when using nv driver

[Eduard Grebe]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-nv
  
- When editing a text field in a web application, e.g. this window on launchpad or a message in gmail and one moves the cursor with the keyboard, a cursor is drawn between every character and only disappears after several seconds. This does not happen in firefox on windows or on my Powerbook running Dapper PPC. I'm not sure whether this is a firefox problem or Xorg's graphics rendering. This machine has an on-board video adapter and I don't think hardware acceleration supported by Linux on  this adapter (although I'm not sure how to check). Device Manager says:
