Description Volker Hemmann 2006-07-06 19:36:36 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.1 
OS:                Linux

When I visit this site:
http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2006-07-05T180919Z_01_L04727574_RTRUKOC_0_US-GERMANY-BALLS.xml

with a newly openend konqueror or a tab, the text and all links disappear as soon as they are touched by the mouse.

In firefox the website is 'normal'.

I am not alone with that problem:

X is xgl on xorg 7.1, nvidia drivers, qt 3.3.6, amd64.

Comment 1 Tommi Tervo 2006-07-06 20:11:10 UTC
Very weird bug.
Comment 2 Volker Hemmann 2006-07-06 22:44:26 UTC
that is why I asked in the gentoo forum if anybody else has the same experience before opening it. weird indeed -  I am using konqueror for years, and this site is the first I ever visited showing this behaviour.

Comment 6 George L. Emigh 2006-09-25 00:59:03 UTC
It seems that if I change browser identification to Safari 2.0 on Mac OS X, Reuters seems to behave properly.

I've had to do this on many sites to get them to work properly.

I suggest Konqueror's name be changed to Safari, sites seem to know of it, but the rest of the world does not know Konqueror.

Doing so would save us users a lot of grief.

Comment 7 George L. Emigh 2006-09-25 01:15:52 UTC
Nevermind, it was just a fluke, I give up.

Comment 8 George L. Emigh 2006-09-25 01:23:04 UTC
Here is a great idea, add a feature that we can add domains to (a list like browser identification) that will cause the site to be viewed in an "Alternate Browser" like Firefox.

Great for problems where konqueror just cannot do the job.

Or better still add the Gecko engine as an alternate choice to KHTML.

I still prefer Konqueror as my default browser, but dudes, it's more like work than play to use it anymore.

Comment 9 Volker Hemmann 2006-10-12 01:34:28 UTC
Hi,

I just updated to 3.5.5 and I can't reproduce the bug anymore (well, I stopped using xgl sometime ago, but..)

I think that If the others who hit the bug too, don't see it with 3.5.5 anymore too, it could be closed..
Comment 10 Edwin Schepers 2007-10-20 20:08:55 UTC
closing on request. works fine with 3.5.7
