Description Cesar Martinez Izquierdo 2007-07-23 15:06:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Using Java 1.5 under KDE, windows are randomly created in rolled up mode (only the title bar is shown).  Then, if we click on the window's kwin menu, we can see that the "rolled up" feature is selected. If we de-select this feature, sometimes the window gets correctly restored, but sometimes it remains rolled up (and sometimes the window decorations disappear and the window contents gets maximized, filling the full screen).

The problem can be triggered using the latest version of our application:
http://www.gvsig.gva.es/fileadmin/conselleria/images/Documentacion/descargas/ficheros/11/gvSIG-1_1-rc1-linux-i586.bin
(for Linux)

or
http://www.gvsig.gva.es/fileadmin/conselleria/images/Documentacion/descargas/ficheros/11/gvSIG-1_1-rc1-windows-i586.exe
(for Windows).
It requieres JAI and Java Image I/O libraries to be installed on the top of Java 1.5.

We didn't have this problem with Java 1.4, so probably it's a Java 1.5 bug, but I wanted to know the opinion of KWin developers. The problem does not happen in Windows or Gnome.

By the way... is there a way to disable the rolled-up mode? That would be a useful workaround, because I don't expect any quick response from Sun...

I can confirm this issue. I'm using openSUSE 10.2 - it did happen with the default KDE 3.5.5, and also with updated KDE 3.5.7

Java 1.5. Often happens in the Netbeans IDE with some popup dialogs.

Current workaround I'm using - I can forbid some particular window to be shaded (rolled-up) in the window's extended properties (available from the context menu of the header).
