This could be dependent on your graphics card and X server. Could you please provide details of these? Thanks Rich.

The problem is present both on my desktop w/ nVidia drivers from feisty restricted-modules package and on my laptop which uses the i810 driver, so I doubt the display driver is involved.

You can see the path my mouse followed while dragging the region as well as artifacts from the box itself on the edges of the image.

It looks from the screenshot as if you're taking a region screenshot of a browser, does the same problem occur when you do it over other applications? (browsers can be slower to redraw than many other applications). Cheers Rich.

Does not depend on the time I give the application to repaint before completing the rectangle (More likely the window underneath is not receiving the request to repaint?)

If I start at any other corner, there are no artifacts.

Any application is affected, as far as selecting a region from top left to bottom right is concerned (using nvidia drivers on core2duo, i386 kubuntu). funny enough, i noticed the screenshot of this entry on kde-look.org is affected as well. http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/End+of+Nicolas+Sarkozy+presidency+counter?content=57818 I replicate this problem using a stock Lenovo Thinkpad T60p and Feisty. I can reproduce this on Gentoo Linux with: - binary NVidia drivers - xorg-x11-7.2 / xorg-server-1.3.0 - KDE-3.5.7 - Screen resolution 1280x1024x24 Appears to be fixed in 0.7 (or else something in kubuntu gutsy fixed the problem) On 19 Aug 2007 15:58:32 -0000, Luke <luke.campagnola@gmail.com> wrote: 17:58 ------- > Appears to be fixed in 0.7 (or else something in kubuntu gutsy fixed the problem) > I think it must be some changes in the X server / drivers as the code in ksnapshot hasn't changed here. Good to know, thanks. Rich. Sorry, the bug isn't fixed: I upgraded to Gutsy, I have KSnapshot 0.7 and the bug is still there !

It isn't a bug in ksnapshot. Cheers Rich. > > Grasyop > It's there again :(. KDE 3.5.9, ksnapshot 0.7, Debian Sid, regardless of used Nvidia Driver with which it was ok before. And it does only happen with ksnapshot but not with gimp screenshot tool when I select a rectangular area for the screenshot. So maybe ksnapshot nonetheless is involved? |
