What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. rotate screen with xrandr -o left

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

After step 1 borders will disappear leaving a gap between the windows
when switching away and back again the borders will return, but won't be
updated when changing focus window.

Changing layout after step 1 will also make the borders disappear. 

Restoring rotation with xrandr -o normal changes the behaviour back to normal.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using darcs build from 2009-01-13 on ArchLinux 32bit.


Please provide any additional information below.

I am using the proprietary nvidia driver on a 8800 gts 512 gfx card with
xrandr enabled in xorg.conf by
 
Option          "RandRRotation" "True"

I updated the nvidia driver to 180.22 and now the borders aren't drawn at all when
the screen is rotated. It seems more like a driver bug than xmonad bug now.

I also have this issue, though I admit I didn't make the connection to the rotation.
 I'm not using xrandr to rotate, I'm using:

Option "Rotate" "left"

in my xorg.conf, as a parameter for my nvidia driver.

Instead of the borders, it just has stuff left over from previous things drawn at
that location (say, if I had changed the layout).

Note that borders are working for focused floating windows that are on top of other
windows, but not for regular tiled windows.

Pretty clearly a graphics driver issue, contact nvidia.
