Description Grósz Dániel 2009-12-26 03:13:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

1. Use KWin with compositing disabled.
2. Move the mouse over a plasmoid and wait until a tooltip appears.
3. Move the mouse away and wait until the tooltip disappears-
4. Move the mouse over an other plasmoid until its tooltip appears.

If there is a window which was covered by (a part of) the first tooltip but which is not covered by the second plasmoid, the contents of the Plasma desktop (or of a maximized window if there is one) are painted over that window where it was covered by the first toltip (even over the window decoration).

This does not happen if you do not wait between the two tooltips and so the moving animation is used.

This is clearly a Xorg bug, I was able to write a xlib-only testcas (as I was asked for), but then nothing happend.
