The menu of the KDEµBlog-widget-textinput-area are

What widget style are you using? How can the bug be exactly reproduced? It looks that you've set the transparency on popup menu, so it is not a bug.

I have transparency disabled in the “all-effects” tab. This does not seem to affect the KDEµBlog-widget. I'm using “Oxygen”, the workspace-design is “Air” (both are default).

The main problem – as you can see in the screenshot – is, that the text of the widget below the popup-menu is drawn atop the popup-menu. (The text of the tweets is black even they are behind the popup.)

There is something fundamentaly wrong with the rendering.

This is not a transparency problem: it looks like plasma elements are painted over the popup menu. Just try to place another plamoid near the KDEµBlog: when you open the popup, even the other plasmoid bill be drawn over the popup.

The bug is reproducible in current trunk.
