Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
While I initially observed this bug on my Desktop PC running Kubuntu 10.04 + backported KDE 4.5.1 I am now able to reproduce it using the 10.10 release candidate running inside a VirtualBox VM. This rules out a graphics-driver-related issue. >From time to time, after logging into my KDE session, the shadow that is >usually drawn behind the Plasma Panel at the bottom of the screen appears >detached from the panel in the upper left quadrant of the screen. My panel is >set to auto-hide and the shadow appears and disappears when the panel shows >and hides. To temporarily correct the issue (until the ghost shadow decides to >show up again), either change the panel alignment from "Center" to "Left" to "Center" (but I guess any alignment change will do) or log off and log on again (while the latter comes with a certain probability that the issue will immediately pop up again). When inspecting the list of existent windows, one can actually spot a window, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the shadow. For an example, refer to the screenshot at: http://archive.ginkel.com/kde/snapshot-plasma-ghost.png The issue has already been reported upstream: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251537 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: kdebase-workspace 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 1 22:10:17 2010 InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release Candidate amd64 (20100928.3) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: kdebase-workspace ** Affects: kdebase Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug maverick -- Panel puts ghost shadow on Desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
