Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux Last mouse hovered desktop flashes for a very short time when the mouse enters another desktop's rectangle. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Remeber: do not hover any other desktops' rectangles when moving the mouse. 1) Move mouse over pager's 1st desktop's rectangle. 2) Move the mouse out of the pager. 3) Move the pointer over 3rd desktop's rectangle. 4) Notice the 1st desktop's rectangle flashes for a short time. Actual Results: 1st desktop rectangle flashes for a short time. Expected Results: 1st desktop rectangle should not flash, only the 3rd one.
Created attachment 59980 [details] Mini-screencast of the problem Actually, it does not only flash for a short time, it flashes _all_ the time, as long as you move the mouse cursor over the pager’s margins.
@Frank Steinmetzger I have noticed this too yesterday. Maybe it's a "feature" of new KDE version (4.6.2)? I haven't seen it before. This bug seems to be a trivial mistake, and I can't believe it isn't fixed yet. KDE 4 has lots of such bugs reported, but no developer seems to care.
@ultr: "and I can't believe it isn't fixed yet. KDE 4 has lots of such bugs reported, but no developer seems to care." that kind of feedback does not help *at all*. the developers are extremely busy improving things. they put in a lot of hard work and community support is a big part of what keeps the momentum going. the last thing needed are people complaining about how 1 bug report out of 1200, which in this case is a minor graphical issue not impacting actual usage, isn't addressed according to your personal time scale. it doesn't create a fix, but tends to demotivate and drive volunteer developers away. this results in longer, not shorter, improvement times and a generally less pleasant community to be a part of. please consider this in future. c.f. http://kde.org/code-of-conduct/ thanks ..
