I am having, and have been having, this problem since KDE 4.0 started; this is the last remaining visual glitch from that era, as far as I can tell. I thought it was just because I use vertical taskbars...
The biggest difference between what I see and the current explanation is that the transparent rectangles can be in different parts of the screen. The attached screenshot demonstrates this: I moused over the Quickaccess browser and when the tooltip vanished, it carved a chunk out of the konsole window (then I moused over Quickaccess again for the screenshot). The top three places for the problem to appear are all near things that generate tooltips: next to the device manager (shown here), next to the battery meter, and next to the K menu. It's as if KDE forgot which icon generated the tooltip and erased the wrong part. Practical question: having read this bug report and the KDE bug report, do I turn compositing on, or off? ** Attachment added: "KDE showing the tooltip repaint problem" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34364899/kplasma_problem.jpg -- Window redrawing does not work properly with KDE4 taskbar tooltips. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325074 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
