Description Frank Segner 2007-03-02 23:26:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

the (dynamic width) window decoration b2 (b ii, mimicking BeOS) does not resize the window-title correctly while translucency is turned on.
a lot of programs/applications change the window-title (and its size) while running (e.g. web browsers) and after a change of the title text the title-bar is not properly updated.
I have observed this on a SuSE 10.2 installation as well as on two Kubuntu feisty installations. certainly nothing critical ;-)

I was able to reproduce this. Activating the transparency makes the decoration misbehave. It's probably the only decoration that can dynamically resize its border. 

There is a second problem related to the composite extension: the automatic unhiding of the window titles does not work. I suppose this is because the window is induced in "thinking" it's always completely visible...

I think I have found a fix for the original problem for the b2 decoration, that I will commit after some more testing.
The titlebar size was not updated correctly for a caption change.

This problem affects the Keramic decoration too, even if it is a bit more subtle there, and in trunk the decoration looks in a worse shape than BII.

Any progress on this issue?  It's the only thing making my KDE desktop look bad.  :-/

Comment 4 lucas 2008-12-26 09:25:21 UTC

Can anyone reproduce this in KDE 4.2? I cannot.

Comment 5 Jussi Kekkonen 2010-05-07 22:31:35 UTC

Been working fine in KDE 4.x series and newest 3.5.x releases so I'll close this as fixed, feel free to open again if this can be reproduced with some recent version.
