Refresh display bug

[Jonathan Hepburn]

Greetings,

Apologies if this is already known:

I have just done a clean installation of GS from current CVS, after
entirely deleting /usr/GNUstep and all the non-WindowMaker stuff in
$HOME/GNUstep, including .GNUstepDefaults.

I get a display issue demonstrated by the attached screen shot of
Ink.app showing a Gutenberg plain text file. The same bug occurs in
GNUMail Mailboxes window and message list window and in configuration
dialogues, including the icons category list in the GNUMail
Preferences - essentially, any scrollable content. Plan text
overwrites itself as shown. Lists, e.g. GNUMail Mailboxes window, will
be only partially overwritten.

The only way to force a refresh is to make a selection in the affected
area, as demonstrated in the screenshot.

The screenshot is using Camaelon, but the bug was present before
Etoile (stable) was installed.

Backend: art
gcc: 4.1.2 - Debian.

I wanted to pose it to the experts before submitting it as a bug (that
may not make sense).

More information gladly provided upon request.

Slainte,
J
