Version: v0.2 (using KDE 3.1.9) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-ck1 for no reason (at least i dont know which reason) the newsticker flickers, maybe it conflicts with xmms-kde which is scrolling as well, the flickering looks like there is a background behind the backgroundcolor, its grey (my button color perhaps)
Do you use KNewsTicker in the panel, or in a window of it's own? Does it only flicker if you run XMMS-KDE?
i use it in an panel, i never tried using it without xmms-kde, btw my computer seems to be locking up since i use a new kernel (2.4.22-ck1) everytime it hangs up the knewticker panel is split up in two parts, the uper half is normaly displayed and the other half is gray, since i removed knewsticker from my panel i didnt have any hang up or lock up (the mouse was still moving, sound still playing but all graphics were frozen)
Subject: Re: newsticker flickers when scrolling news Does the flickering become faster, the faster you make the scrolling speed? If so, is there a certain, very low, speed, at which you cannot see any flickering anymore? Also, what XFree86 version are you using, and what graphics card?
xfree86: 4.30 graphics card: nvidia geforce 2 mx 400 the flickering doesnt change
Do you still have this problem? Does it matter whether you use the default XFree driver ("nv") or NVidia's proprietary ("nvidia") driver?
Doesn't happen anymore with me, nvidia driver, not nv. Although I believe to see it flicker on the top and buttom. (I'm very tired I could be having hallucinations or something :)
Works for me, apparently works for original reporter as well.
I just found out that the bug doesn't seem to be in knewsticker (as of kde 3.3b2), the flicker appears only when using .NET (it is harder to see than with .NET2, on the buttom of the newsticker one can sometimes see a flicker, but most of the newsticker is repaintet correctly) or .NET 2 (heavy optical flaws) (so it seems to have no connection with the used video driver), since .dotNET is part of kde-artwork I'll reopen this bug in the hope that the issue will be adressed to the proper persons
I have this behaviour too: * I'm running it in the kicker * Using the Comix style
