Description Tristan Miller 2005-08-28 18:24:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Reproducibility: sometimes

Step to reproduce:
1. In thread pane, hover the mouse over an article whose subject is too long to fit in the display.
2. KNode pops up a tooltip with the full subject.
3. Move the mouse elsewhere.

Expected behaviour:
4. Tooltip should disappear and whatever was previously visible under it should be restored.

Observed behaviour:
5. Tooltip disappears, but the image below is not repainted.  User is left with a blank rectangle.

See attached screenshot for an example.

Probably you start your x-server with backing store support on. That can lead to
errors in the reconstitution of the area below the popup, mostly text and
transparent Pixmaps.
Try to create a .xserverrc file in your home directory with a line like this:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -bs
And adjust further options after your needs, "X --help" will help you.

This is a bug in the X.org server; see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25637
