[Bug 472408] [NEW] R data editor not usable when desktop effects enabled

[oudalrich]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: r-base

When desktop effect are enabled, R's data editor is unusable. The window
contents are garbled from the start, and when scrolling through the data
using the arrow keys the contents of the editor window is not redrawn
properly. I have attached a screenshot that shows an editor window after
scrolling around a bit. I have verified that the problem exists on two
different machines with different video hardware (Intel and ATI)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure desktop effects are enabled. 
2. Start R
3. Type:
View(data.frame(matrix(rnorm(100), ncol = 5)))
4. In the editor window that appears, use the arrow keys to scroll around. Notice how the contents of the window get increasingly garbled.
