Description firewalker 2012-09-03 12:45:26 UTC 
When KDE's desktop effects are enabled the drop down menus of non KDE application, that don't use the KDE's theme (e.g. gtk application with Clearlooks or other theme), are broken.

If the theme for non KDE applications changes to oxygen/oxygen-gtk the problem goes away. 

My graphic cards is an Intel 3000 for the laptop and Nvidia 8400 GS for the desktop.

The problem is there since 4.8.1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Desktop effects.
2. Open a gtk application with Clearlooks theme (e.g. Firefox, CodeBlocks) or a Qt one (e.g. KVIRC.)
3. Try to navigate across the dropdown menus.
Actual Results:

Only happens if there's no showing animation (fade, scale, generic animations, stuff like that) I assume?

Yes, it only happens when there's no showing animation.

I was following a bug that seamed relative to this problem. It was to be included to 4.9. After I upgraded and it was still present I filed the report.

Thanks for the info.
