Version: 0.50.0 (using KDE 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= 20080104), Gentoo) Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.23-kamikaze3 On arrival of a new message in an unfocused standalone chat window or tab, the window's contents are not updated correctly. This affects both the painting (new content is not drawn correctly or at all) and the scrollbar (it's not updated, and the window does not scroll down). Also, switching tabs in a tabbed chat widget often does not draw the new tab properly, leaving parts or all of the old tab's content intact or even showing an empty widget. This error occurs even when the chat window is fully visible, but has no input focus (i.e. another app is active). The chat window is redrawn correctly as soon as one sends a message oneself, or scrolls manually.
Scrolling issue is fixed already. Drawing issue is KHTML's fault. We're going to have the chance to use another rendering engine soon, so maybe that will fix it.
I have sent a patch to kde-core-devel that fixes KHTML redrawing bugs. I'll commit it later if nobody objects. http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=120204666623056&w=2
