Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

Every time I have an issue like this I get really happy that it's not only me, and I don't have to find some crazy way to describe the problem lol.

Anyhow, yeah, having the same issue here...
Xfce 4.10
Chrome 25.0.1323.1 dev
Nvidia driver ver 304.64

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

I was also having this problem.
chromium 23.0.1271.64-1
nvidia drivers 310.19-2
xfwm4 4.10.0-2

Downgrading these packages and rebooting fixed the problem.
pixman (0.28.0-1 => 0.26.2-1)
cairo (1.12.8-2 => 1.12.6-2)
xorg-server (1.13.0-4 => 1.13.0-3)

I also reported the bug upstream for Chromium, but this is a xorg-server issue.

Same issue here, along with the others. Just assumed something wonky was happening with nvidia binary + 3 monitors (multiple monitors seems to always cause the best problems) For once i'm not alone.

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

According to https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … che-patch/ - the guy responsible for the pixman patch is a nvidia guy - yell in there if you want faster action.

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

It's one month and still no action?

I would downgrade, but an older version of xf86-input-evdev causes problems with touchpad.

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

Well there are two problems: a crash and corruption. applatner said he reproduced the latter and he has a fix.

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

I had the corruption/transparency issue using:
Chromium 23.0.1271.95 (169798)
Nvidia 310.19
Xorg 1.13.0-4

resolved it by downgrading Xorg to 1.13.0-3

really hope this is resolved soon & that the backport the fix to nvidia 304

Yes, I can confirm Grima's discovery: upgrading xorg packages (1.13.0.902-2) seems to solve the problem.

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

It's not a perfect fix yet, I think. The change in xorg-server was just to "disable glyph caching again - fixes nvidia blob and vmware systems."

Re: Chromium: tab title becomes transparent

Is this issue still here (using latest xorg-server and pixman)?

I'm still experience grayish tab title text in chromium under gma500_gfx driver.
