Description:
After upgrading from 3.7.2-1 to 3.7.3-1, claws-mail on i686 displays corrupted fonts in the folder list on starting - http://www.hyborian.demon.co.uk/claws/1_opening.png When a folder is selected, the messages panel displays a similar effect - http://www.hyborian.demon.co.uk/claws/2_select.png Selecting an e-mail does not help, although the e-mail contents are displayed clearly - http://www.hyborian.demon.co.uk/claws/3_view_e-mail.png Minimising and restoring the claws-mail window restores the correct view in both the folders and messages panels - http://www.hyborian.demon.co.uk/claws/4_after_min-restore.png From that point onwards, selecting additional messages corrupt that particular message's entry in the messages panel until min-restore is performed again. I have tried changing the font used in Configuration -> Preferences -> Display -> Fonts, but this made no difference. Additional info: * package version(s): claws-mail 3.7.3-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: See screenshots |
This task depends upon

Yes the system is fully up to date. I have tried renaming ~/.claws-mail and re-creating a profile from scratch, but I get the same artifacts on the screen.
I do have an idea though. Could this be caused by the KMS driver in kernel 2.6.31? This machine is a laptop with an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphics card. I have disabled KMS (using radeon.modeset=0 on the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst), but I've noticed some unusual screen displays before gnome-screensaver kicks in.

I've fixed this, it's not claws-mail, it was a radeon driver configuration problem. I added the following options to xorg.conf:
Option "DRI" "on"
Option "DynamicPM" "on" # Dynamic powersaving.
Option "ClockGating" "on" # Assisting option for powersaving.
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" # EXA should fit most cases.
Option "EXAVSync" "on" # EXAVSync is explained above.
Option "DMAForXv" "on" # Forced option in order to enable Xv overlay.
Option "ScalerWidth" "2048" # That should fix some very rare bugs.
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on" # It will not be enabled on R5xx cards.
Option "RenderAccel" "on" # Optional. It should be enabled by default.
Option "AccelDFS" "on" #Optional. See the man page.
And one of them fixed it.
Sorry for not checking this more thoroughly earlier. Please close the bug.
