Description Eric Emsellem 2008-08-13 12:40:08 UTC
Version:           2.1 (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Hi

when I resize a konsole window, making it BIGGER, nothing appears in the part which was extended.. No crash, just an annoying feature which basically does not refresh the window at all and make text disappear... When I redo, e.g. a "ls" after, everything is normal again.

Note that I am not using any effect...
(I will try to attach snapshots on this post)

The previous attachment was the wrong image. Sorry...

As you can see here, the screen looks ok, with the text in. Not as in the other
attachment which clearly shows that the konsole window is empty where it has
been resized.

The only thing I notice different from screenshot in comment 2 ("wrong") and comment 4 ("ok") is that the shell prompt isn't visible. Am I right ?

Here:
Qt: 4.4.1
KDE: 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722))
Konsole: 2.1
Intel GMA X3100 using xf86-video-intel 2.3.2
in ArchLinux i686

I can't reproduce this. Making the window bigger doesn't "hide" the shell prompt.
What graphics card / driver do you have? May be it's related to it.

Yes and no: yes the prompt does not appear, but basically anything which lies in the bottom 2-3cm of the window disappear...

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

I don't think the video card is related, I see this bug also once in a while on a completely different setup (VirtualBox).

Let me also rephrase my previous comment: in fact NOTHING appears in the *newly* available space made by the resizing of the window.

cheers.

Have you experienced this bug again with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 / 4.2svn)? Thanks :)
Comment 10 Eric Emsellem 2008-11-29 23:18:23 UTC
I am still with kde 4.2.1 (bug still there). Will try to upgrade and let you know
Comment 11 Bram Schoenmakers 2008-12-01 18:42:52 UTC
Yes, I just saw this bug in KDE 4.1.3. I had a Konsole where I disabled the window borders. I resized it with Alt+RMB and dragged the bottom of the window a little upwards. After that, when I maximize again, you see that this part of the window is not correctly refreshed anymore.
Comment 12 g111 2010-10-29 10:27:28 UTC
I cannot reproduce this behaviour in KDE 4.4.5. (with nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE], nvidia driver 195.36.31-5 in debian/sid/aptosid, kernel 2.6.36)

Are you able to still reproduce this? Does this happen with turned off composite effects, too? (e.g. turned off via Shift+Alt+F12)
Comment 13 Jekyll Wu 2011-08-01 13:23:15 UTC
Can't reproduce this in KDE-4.7.0

Free free to reopen it if this still happens in recent version.
