mc somewhat broken with Compiz Fusion enabled

[volatilevoid]

Hi,

I'm experiencing a strange problem with mc when Compiz Fusion is activated. It seems the terminal window is not redrawn correctly, so when scrolling through the files it all gets a bit messed up. If I click on the desktop, the window gets redrawn and everything is fine again.

Here are some details.

Enabled options in Compiz are
- GNOME compatibility,
- cube,
- fade windows,
- window decoration,
- minimization,
- wobbly windows,
- text,
- application switcher,
- scale windows,
- move windows and
- shift switcher

Some of the options may not resemble the English names as I have the German version installed.

Any suggestions?

How are you starting compiz? What's the output of [cmd=""]ps ax | grep compiz[/cmd]?

Hi Adam,

I'm starting Compiz with the compiz-manager script provided by the port. The output of
$ ps ax | grep compiz
is

 1820  ??  I      0:00,02 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/compiz-manager
 1908  ??  I      0:07,60 /usr/local/bin/compiz --ignore-desktop-hints --replac
 2069   0  S+     0:00,00 grep compiz
