Description Jon Comtois 2008-04-21 07:10:43 UTC 
Version:           1.4.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron RC yesterday.  Amarok upgraded with it.  Now while listening to tracks, the "Playing:" field in the status bar does not update correctly.  It continuously overwrites itself but does not clear the field.  Minimizing and restoring Amarok will cause it to refresh.  The result of the overwriting is a bunch of garbled text overlayed upon itself.

I will attach a screenshot.

After additional testing, this seems to happen when amarok is running on another viewport (desktop).  If I have the app active and on current display, it does update.  This has happened while listening to last.fm stream, not sure if it does it when listening to regular local tracks.

This is a problem with X and associated friends (think nvidia/fglrx), which only seems to be exposed with Hardy. Perhaps you should report downstream to Ubuntu.

Not much we can do about this really - so sorry!
