Peace, people!
I have a very nasty bug that breaks window titles. I haven't seen it on machines running with ATI or Intel cards installed. I have seen it on ALL my machines with nVidia cards... Will they solve the bug? Shame on them... :(

The bug is #99508 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-177/+bug/99508)

Well I expect you'll need to give people a bit more information - perhaps the bug report number from launchpad.

I've not seen it myself - not with the beta legacy driver I needed nor the 177. driver I'm using now.

I've learned to live with it by keeping the cursor away from the minimize, restore, maximize buttons, or clicking inside the affected window when that is unavoidable.

I wonder how few of us have nVidia cards according to the poll... :confused:

For me it has been solved in Jaunty when I installed the latest proprietary driver version (currently 180)
