Oh true this one got fixed that way but then a similar bug showed up caused by the message tray icons being moved during the animation (and yet again resulting in validateTree calls).

This got fixed in 270.41.03 driver release.

See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630533#c38

Do you remember if there was ever a bug open on our side for that? It would help trying to find the change you're talking about.

NVM, I think I know what you're talking about now.

Hi,
I am on Debian Testing with latest nvidia driver. I am still facing this issue of garbled images in Gnome-shell session with browsers,image viewer softwares etc.

I am on Gnome-3.2 and it is not fixed yet. Here is a earlier thread started by Me.

In Gnome-Shell(Gnome3) Session, Firefox shows misaligned pages, particularly the ones having more images,flash etc. also, jerky scrolling. it occurs in random websites. I managed to capture one image when I was posting a youtube video to a forum:

I have tried disabling sync vblank settings and it doesn't help.
While in Gnome-fallback option, Firefox(Iceweasel) works fine.
Is this an issue with nvidia driver?
nvidia (debian)version: 290.10
gfx card: nvidia geforce 7300GT
distro: Debian wheezy/sid

Is this a issue involving nvidia driver and Gnome3's mutter window manager/clutter library?
I cannot find a solution for it till now.

Please, fix the problem, the system is completely unusable and that is a very common problem.

Issues with Nvidia 173.14.35 and GNOME Shell here, too.

As I already pointed out in this thread, on my system (OS: Fedora 17 x86, GPU: Nvidia GeForce FX 5600XT) GNOME Shell (v 3.4) responds with a huge lag (15-20 seconds at least) and the gnome-shell process takes up almost 100 % CPU.
In Fallback Mode, everything runs smoothly.

Attached is the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh.
