Summary: Blank empty context right-click menus
Product: [Applications] digikam Reporter: Mats Ahlgren <ahlgren>

Description Mats Ahlgren 2007-02-19 23:49:20 UTC 
Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 25.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

Problem:
This email I discovered about sums it up: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2006-December/002791.html

When you right-click on a thumbnail, the context menu will be empty. This only happens with right-clicking on thumbnails (right-clicking on albums works fine). You can still click on the empty menu, and you'll be able to trigger any invisible menu item at random.

This digiKam was installed from OpenSuse 10.2 (latest) packages.

The same problem can be reproduce with Amarok. 

The SGI style is bugous?

Comment 2 Mats Ahlgren 2007-02-20 23:49:50 UTC 
I don't have this problem with Amarok.
Comment 3 Mats Ahlgren 2007-05-25 02:52:42 UTC 
Any progress on this bug?
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2007-11-06 15:01:17 UTC 
Mats,

Are you tried at least 0.9.2 release ? Also, 0.9.3-beta2 is ready for testing...

Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2007-11-28 13:24:20 UTC 
Mats,

What news about this report ? Are you tried with digiKam 0.9.2 or 0.9.3-beta3 ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 6 Mats Ahlgren 2007-11-30 04:23:39 UTC 
Oh, thanks for reminding me! Sorry about that.

Result:
YES, this is still reproducible for digiKam 0.9.2. However, only the context menus on the main picture panel are blank (right-clicking on a thumbnail) -- however -- if you right-click on the album sidebar or on the toolbar, you get menus you can see. Hopefully this piece of info should help track down the problem.

Best,
Mats

Just to be sure: if you don't use the 
"sgi widget style", there is no problem?

I also found this entry for kwin about problems with the sgi widget style,
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145857

This suggests that this is a problem outside of digikam.
Comment 8 Mats Ahlgren 2007-11-30 09:37:56 UTC 
Actually upon rereading, I shouldn't have quoted that email. I have no idea what sgi-widget-style is. DigiKam was this way out-of-the-box. I just turned the theme to "dark".
Comment 9 Arnd Baecker 2007-11-30 09:54:28 UTC 
So it also happens when you don't change anything?

Just to be sure that there is no problem with any configuration file etc.,
could you create an account for a new test-user on your machine
and see if the problem is also there for that account?

Mat,

What's news about this entry ?

Gilles Caulier
Comment 11 Andi Clemens 2008-08-18 09:23:16 UTC 
And again, what about this bug? Never seen it (and I also have openSUSE installed as a virtual machine).
Otherwise we'd like to close it.

Mat,
still confirming this?

Comment 12 caulier.gilles 2008-08-18 09:38:50 UTC 
Andi,

I suspect a problem with KDE style, especialy SGI. Perhaps it's already fixed into Suse.

Also, here i have never seen this bug on my computers. So, if you cannot reproduce it, i'm agrre to close it.

Comment 13 Andi Clemens 2008-08-18 09:45:23 UTC 
This seems to be a Qt style problem, I have never seen that before. Closing this one right now.
