Description Amit Shah 2003-01-29 15:45:50 UTC
Version:           3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:          Linux

If the background wallpaper is set in KSirc, and we do an <Alt>-<Tab> (or another window gets focus and then switch back to ksirc), the desktop background appears in the ksric window. 

Also, the wallpaper scrolls with the text in the IRC window.

The change in the wallpaper also does not take place instantly.

Hi, 
 
in CVS HEAD the wallpaper doesn't scroll any longer... The other thing with the 
background in the ksirc window isn't reproduceable in CVS HEAD. 
I guess it was a bug in krootwindow, that has already been fixed. 
 
Ciao, 
Tobias

Fix caused ksirc to always flicker and made the program barely useable.  Reverted, 
and re-opened.

I found this same bug in ksirc 1.3.8, the wallpaper also has bad rendering when a 
window is dragged across the ksirc window. When the window passes over the 
wallpaper portion, it seems to smear the wallpaper. I have found this bug in the KDE 
3.1.4 and 3.2 alpha 1 versions.

Is this bug still present in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE4.0 RC2?

I think, this report can be closed. a) it is really old, b) it seems not to be an application called ksirc anymore in debian/sid!?

KSIRC was confirmed to be unmaintained, and its main developer is not reachable.
Closing as UNMAINTAINED.

I suggest all the users to try other KDE IRC client alternatives like Konversation, Aki, or the Qt-only Quassel.
