Google Chrome -- MDM re-paint failure

Post by CliveMcCarthy »

I'm using Mint 17 with Mate. Things work fine, except for Google Chrome. When Chrome is minimized the background isn't re-painted. It worked fine with Mate on Mint 15 & 16.

Same here, and it's driving me nuts. Every time I switch workspaces I have to minimize Chrome and scrub the screen with another window.

I think I have the same issue.

When I DISABLE the compositing windows, OpenGL applications are NOT repainted.

When I ENABLE compositing windows, OpenGL applications are repaint correctly... but got tearing issues (vsync).

A good test for tearing (vsync) issue in Chrome :

If this is only with Chrome, and not applications, try disabling the hardware acceleration in Advanced Settings (of Chrome). I'm guessing it's caused by the video driver...

The important thing is that Chrome was JUST FINE with Mint 15 & 16 and Mate. This is a regression in the OS probably in MDM.
