Window border is drawed corrupted

Mouse over all the buttons (Minimize, Maximize, Close) and the title bar itself.
It seems bug is also there on ubuntu 8.10 i386.

I am also seeing this on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit, fully updated - I am also using the proprietary nvidia driver with an nvidia 7600GS with compiz enabled.

I think this is a bug in the proprietary nvidia driver as the recent 180.06 BETA driver claims to fix this problem:

from: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123072
"Fixed a regression that could result in window decoration corruption when running Compiz using Geforce 6 and 7 series GPUs."

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's still an issue. I can't enable Visual Effects because of the annoying bug of the window decoration. I tested today again but it's still there. If I turn off the effects it's okey.

I'm using version 177.82 of the Nvidia driver. I will try to upgrade to an never but unsupported version to see if the problem exists there.

Upgraded to 9.04 witch has 180.x driver default and it's working perfect. I did not manage to upgrade 8.10 to new driver, X did not work propertly.

There must be as Alex Murray say, that there was a bug in older Nvidia driver 17x that was corrected in 180.x
