it's about two days that I realized that I've got a strange problem on texteditor (gedit, but also Geany and others).



When I scroll the text (with mouse but also with page down/up) it didn't refresh properly.



Only after few clicks on it the situation return to normality.



All other things seems to work nicely (for example: scrolling text on LibreOffice it's not a problem).



It seems a GTK+ problem... but how to solve this issue?



Thanks a lot!



UPDATE:



It seems that Cairo-dock it's responsable of the problem. With only unity or gnome all works fine, when I launch Cairo dock (OpenGL or not is the same) then gedit and other editors slow on refresh.
Normally I use Cairo dock + Unity session. All worked fine and so I think that the problem starts with the latest update (some days ago).



UPDATE 2:



Trying to install other text editors... for example: X2 editor works fine with the same document that cause problems with gedit/geany.

The problem has been identified, and is a bug in the Intel drivers of Ubuntu 12.04 :-)



Take a look at the wiki: http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Intel%20cards&lang=en#1-Visual%20artefacts%20when%20scrolling%20in%20some%20windows



Basically, update to the latest version of Mesa, or disable the option "display windows thumbnails" in the Taskbar section.
