Description Steve Havelka 2015-11-20 02:05:05 CET

Text entry fields in Firefox alternate between readable and garbled, as I type and move the mouse.

This seems to be the bug:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89807

The device is an HP G2 340 laptop with the Intel chipset.  This is the relevant output from lspci:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 08) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 8036

@ Steve

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja
