Version: Plasma/kwin 3.97.1 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 amd64 OS: Linux When browsing with SeaMonkey to a site which has embedded flash, a shadow area is generated on the desktops top-left corner, which are always ontop. The shadow effect is sightly larger than what the flash is on the web page. If the flash is big enough, then the shadow area will cover parts of the web browser, which prevents you to see whats on the page, prevents you to see thge web browsers toolbar and the window decoration for the web browser (this applies to any other application that is on the same virtual desktop). Trying to use xwininfo to get some information about the shadow ain't possible, and it ain't possible to kill it with xkill, then only way to get rid of those are to leave the page with the embedded flash. SeaMonkey 1.1.7 Adobe Flash: 9.0.42 KDE: 3.97.1
I cannot reproduce. Is there anything special about your setup?
As far as I know there shouldn't be anything special about the system, default KDE4 settings (I think, I doubt the layman overlay has anything special in it).
I can confirm this bug. My roommate has the same problem. It occurs for embedded flash in Firefox 2.0.0.11. He uses KDE 4.0 RC2 packages for Kubuntu on an AMD64 system.
Same bug, on my computer, KDE is compiled from svn (yesterday), but was also present before
More information about my config: firefox version: 2.0.0.11 flash version:9.0 r48 using nsplugin CG: nvidia 7600 gs
Same Problem here with Firefox 2.0.0.13 KDE 4.0.3 running on Ubuntu 64-bit System (7.10) i also use nvidia 7600 GS
Same problem with Firefox 2.0.0.13 KDE 4.0.3, but since 4.0.0 Gentoo amd64 Doesn't happen in konqueror, and persists on all virtual desktops, not just the one with the browser.
I had this problem a few months ago, but it has disappeared, I believe with the move to qt 4.4 (beta, at the time).
This problem seems to have gone. Probably was related either to proprietary Flash or nVidia driver. So changing to invalid.
