Description Dotan Cohen 2009-08-16 12:16:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In KDE 4.3 I must "hit" hidden panels with the mouse cursor to open them. Placing the mouse cursor at the edge of the screen where a panel is hidden does not open the panel, rather, the panel must be "hit" with the mouse moving at high speed into the area where the panel is hidden in order for it to pop up. Simply placing the mouse gently at the spot makes the panel glow, but it does not pop up.

so putting the mouse at the edge of the screen -slowsly- does not open the panel? is a speed issue?

Comment 2 Dotan Cohen 2009-08-16 22:29:39 UTC

Correct. I need to bang the mouse at the appropriate edge. I tried taking a screenshot of my mouse right there at the lowest point of the glow of a hidden panel, but Ksnapshot does not include the mouse pointer!

hmm, could be the invisible activation window one pixel off the edge of the screen erhaps. weird because i can't reprodice here.
does it happen with all the edges?

Comment 4 Dotan Cohen 2009-08-17 10:16:46 UTC

As I have a panel on the right that I do not want to change, I only tested the left, upper, and lower edges. All of those edges suffer from the bug.

Comment 5 Dotan Cohen 2009-08-17 10:18:50 UTC

It seems to be a Compiz problem. Disabling Compiz makes the bug go away. However, disabling Compiz also makes the hover effect go away as well. Note that the KDE effects are very buggy on this ATI graphics card so I use Compiz instead.
