Thunderbird: many buttons haven't icons

This problem occurs on two my laptops.

I have the same problem under KDE3 after hibernation/resume. Some icons turn black or disappear, with the tendency to increase after multiple hibernation. Other elements turn black under XFCE. While trying to get rid of it I tried to switch the kernel (from "desktop" to "default"), to ensure that every library is from the native OpenSUSE repository, to upgrade XOorg from X11:/Xorg repository... I have spent two days but to no avail. This fault only appeared after the upgrade to 12.1. I am afraid it is related to the kernel Intel graphics card driver, because simultaneously the bootsplash (even verbose) does not work.

An example of black icons after hibernation/resume

This is an example of blackened icons. Besides, some transparent (invisible) icons appear after hibernate/resume, like described by Dmitry, especially in Thunderbird.

Here are transparent icons.

...and black scroll bar.

This problem appears after high loading of CPU.

I found that this takes place even after the screensaver (kdesktop_lock from KDE3 in my case) launches.

I found that this problem appears in my case with the "intel" xorg driver. As a workaround I am trying the "fbdev" driver (though it has some visual problems with the pointer an it is not easy to get it back to the screen after resume with the i915 KMS module used on my laptop).

Hello! There are 2 intel drivers available: intel & intellegacy (second is shiped in a separate package xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy). Did you try switch to legacy intel driver?

I tried (in both KMS and non-KMS modes), but it crashes every time I launch firefox or thunderbird.

By the way, I tried the "intel" driver with the "Shadow" option enabled. The icons are rendered correctly, but this option spoils some other application (video players and those that use OpenGL).

I downgraded the "intel" driver by installing the version 2.17.0 from the repository "home:aevseev". It seems to work nicely! I have found no corrupted icons after hibernation.

Note that the "home:aevseev" repository contains other drivers as well, but as separate packages (xorg-x11-driver-video-*) instead of a united package of the official distribution (xorg-x11-driver-video). Besides, no other libraries were affected by the package substitution, so that the bug is possessed by the very "intel" driver.

Unfortunately, I was too optimistic. The corruption returned after several hibernations.

Dmitry, I have been using "xorg-x11-driver-video-intel" from another repository, "home:scalpel4k", for two days, hibernating the computer many times, and it works! No corrupted icons!

It seems it may be closed.

Product is no longer supported. In case the issue is still reproducable on a maintainerd product (at that momement: openSUSE 13.1 or later), feel free to reopen.
