Description Jos De Laender 2004-01-04 10:49:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

I run KDE 3.1.3 (Mandrake 9.2 distro) on a _slow_ computer (Cyrix 6x86 166). Although not flashing , speed is acceptable. I guess the low speed makes the bug that I describe hereafter visible.

When left-mouse-clicking on a menu button it starts flickering several times , probably related to the number of entries in the menu.

It does not so when shifting while pressed to an adjacent menu , which makes me think it has to see with a mouse-click-event.

It seems a consistent behaviour over all kde applications. (kmail,knode,kmix, konqueror ...)

It is visual very annoying and probably eats a number of scarce cpu-cycles (:-)) on my box.

Very nice product otherwise !!!

Disable the fading menu effect in the control center.

Comment 2 Jos De Laender 2004-01-06 21:47:53 UTC

All GUI effects were disabled already ... Nevertheless the problem is there.

I do not see the flickering in kde4 with a PII 200Mhz.

Comment 4 Jonas Vejlin 2009-08-26 15:33:55 UTC

Do you still have a problem with kde 4.3?
