Further to my report, I now have an easy fix for my occurrence...

To recap: with Intrepid and my nVidia FX5500/256mb card, I was experiencing window titlebar corruption when mousing over the righthand controls (minimize, close, etc.). Moving the mouse cursor over the controls would corrupt half the titlebar; moving the mouse again over them would restore a correctly rendered titlebar. This is the full extent of the window-drawing corruption for me: just in the window titlebars.

I experimented with switching to different Window Borders...

SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > APPEARANCE > THEME > CUSTOMIZE > WINDOW BORDER

Sure enough, when I switched away from the default Window Border of HUMAN, e.g. to CLEARLOOKS, the titlebar rendering problem ceased. From my tests, it looks like the default HUMAN Window Border is the only border theme that triggers the rendering fault (for my setup, anyway).

Anyone else able to solve their issue doing the same??

Cheers,
Belzecue.
