Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources It's so: when I right click on an icon in systray, like Akregator I get the menu. When I move the mouse on that menu, the shadow dissapears. It happens not only in systray. Check out the screencast I've done: http://sheytan-files.xt.pl/shadow-bug.ogv It's really annoying. Such bug can't stay in the most adcvenced desktop environment.
The screencast does not load...
it's a html page, the cast resides inside an iframe -> http://tunedcars3.republika.pl/shadow-bug.ogv ... ... ... D'OHHH! i think this bug is strongly related to some cristoph posted earlier this day (or yesterday - but i forgot the bug id :-( the bug alters when using translucent menus. in this case the menushadows are ok, but shadows from windows below get double painted and update on e.g. submenu mapping. i can only confirm it for nvidia drivers, but the backend doesn't matter. (the other bug is about complete window regions sometimes not getting updated after -afaics- fullscreen FX)
Right click, and save as should work. Is it possible to fix that Kwin's problem?
I'm experiencing the opposite: when the menu on the system tray is opened, the shadow appears only after some seconds and only if I've hovered a menu with a sub-menu: when the submenu is closed the shadows appears.

Git commit 3b8984d630cc6dc655a171fa9c0f7e74e9ee3c61 by Martin Gr����lin. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'graesslin/kwin-cleanup'. Remove Shadow Effect. The shadow effect is known to be broken since at least 4.5. It is unfortunately in a state which makes it difficult to maintain and the architecture has some serious drawbacks. Therefore it is the best solution to replace the effect with a new and better implementation. For more information about the new implementation please see the discussion on KWin mailinglist: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=129607406517609&w=2 This also "fixes" all existing bug reports about the shadow effect. Most of the bugs will really be fixed when the new shadow system is implemented, if not it is a new bug and a new report should be created for it. Please excuse that we go this unnormal approach to mark bugs as fixed with code removal.
