Description eekaikko 2007-09-09 19:25:35 UTC 
Version:           3.93 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I have a test case in http://iki.fi/eelik/bibletimehtml.html. It is output from our BibleTime program (http://www.bibletime.info).

3.93 KHTML renderer messes up the background because of this css code:
* {
        /* To work around a KDE 3.2 bug / problem */
        background-color:transparent;
}

(The comment is from our template code, I do not know what the original 3.2 problem was.)

You can see the problem when you for example resize the window or select some text. The background is not redrawn at all but old pixels remain there.

The stable (3.5.6) KHTML works fine.

I fail to see the problem with Konqueror 4 (trunk, r798696). Background seems to be repainted correctly during/after resize and selection of text.

I can confirm this is not a problem anymore with 4.0.3

Closing - Thanks for reporting this.
