Can you attach the .xsession-errors ?
It's happening only with firefox ? or with any others apps ?
Did you install a fresh mageia, or it's from an upgrade ?
Does it happen with a fresh user?
What's your graphic card & driver used ?
Do you use desktops effects or no ?


(i can't reproduce here but on a x86_64)

Ooops! I didn't see that they were activated by default.
I deactivated them and retry.

Comment 6 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-02-18 20:58:57 CET

When the desktop effects are de-activated. The bug disappear.
When they are re-a

Comment 7 Bernard MAUDRY 2011-02-18 21:05:20 CET

When the desktop effects are re-activated. The bug comes back.
I tried Dimitrios's proposal to reset them to default, but this made no change.
The bug is still there.
