yes known issue, but very difficult to fix and just a minor visual glitch. The problem is that the panel is in stacking order the last to be painted but all other windows are raised, so it is painted above the other windows. You can see similar issues when rotating and a window is shown on two desktops. Depending on the view angle it will be above or below the second desktop. *** Bug 273511 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I used to use a desktop 'hexagon', and it works well, except that bug. Due to larger corner angle, this is very visible and annoying *** Bug 306303 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We probably need to sort floating windows depending depending on the view angle. Desktop cube has been removed so closing the bug report. |
Created attachment 48622 [details] Image of front and back, showing the incorrect drawings. Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux If I view a side of the cube (with a window on it) from the front. The plasma panel is drawn on top of the window. And if I view the a desktop from the back, all windows on that desktop are drawn in reverse. Thus the window which is the furthest is drawn on top of the others. And the windows are drawn on top of the desktop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Make sure the option to let the windows float above the cube is active. Now view the cube. You'll see the incorrect drawings. Actual Results: Cube is shown with incorrect drawings. Expected Results: Draw the windows from back, to front. So the windows in the front are on top.
