Description marek 2010-02-04 13:00:48 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

When switching back and forth between title bar tabs (clicking tabs), entire window becomes transparent to mouse/kb events (tabs titles and 'x' are grayed, or not). Windows in group can be shown using taskbar or alt+tab,  or removed from group (if menu works), but group window titlebar still show all tabs. It is also possible, that window is in group, but when switching to it using taskbar, it is shown without other tabs. Sometimes grouped window is shown without decoration. Sometimes window in group can be focused, but i don't know howto.

Could you
- post screenshot whenever you have issue ?
- describe a systematic way to reproduce the issue, if you find any (I don't have any of the problems you describe here)
- tell us which Graphics Card you have
- tell us which window decoration you are using.
- try with "tabstrip", the minimalistic kde decoration that supports window grouping and tell us if the same issues occur

Thanks !

NVidia FX 5200, previously i used Oxygen theme, but this problem always occurs also with Tabstrip theme. Using recordmydesktop i created movie clip:

Shows also bug 225523. Can be downloaded only 10 times.

Maybe some Mandriva patch causes this?

Comment 4 marek 2010-02-11 11:03:58 UTC

this bug appears only if "Hide utility window for inactive applications" advanced window behiavior option is disabled

I have the same bug (Radeon card, dual screens, Oxygen) and checking the "Hide utility windows" fixes it.

This is on KDE 4.4.5.
