hi!

i'm using xfce, which can use the x11 composite extension. if i
tell xfce to enable compositing, bzflag doesn't update all parts of the
its window in the game. only the radar is rendered and updated
correctly. the text message area disappears completely and the viewing
area isn't updated and cleared regularly. the menu isn't affected and
still works fine.

as soon as i tell xfce to not use the composite extension everything is
back to normal.

cheers - fuddl

Hi,

I think this bug is an old misbehaviour of xfce composite management. I
couldn't reproduce the bug with the current versions. But bzflag hasn't
changed since the bug was opened.

If you can still reproduce the problem, please provide some extra info,
like, can you reproduce the bug with another composite manager?

Which video card are you using?

Do you have similar problems with other opengl applications?

Thanks,

reassign 446748 xfwm4
fixed 4.8.2-1
thanks

xfce4 is the metapackage, the window manager is xfwm4 so reassigning.

Note that you might want to tune the settings in xfwm4-tweaks-settings,
especially the “full screen overlay windows”.

Yup, good question?
