*** Bug 244627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Same problem here. Arch Linux x86_64 Nvidia 256.44 (GF 8800 GT) KDE 4.5.0 I have also the same problem. How Bug 244627 is resolved? I did not see any solution. This bug is still open, and bug 244627 is the same bug, but we do not need two open bug reports for the same problem. This is the reason one of them is closed/resolved as a "duplicate" of the other bug. Usually, the older bug stays, and the newer one is closed. Not resolved in KDE 4.5.1 *** Bug 249662 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Not resolved in KDE 4.5.2. Why? Yep, still in in 4.5.2 Fedora 14 x86_64. The problem is still exist in KDE 4.5.3. But I found a workaround: Enable the "Scale In" effect. Kubuntu 10.10 x86_64 Using the open source radeon driver (HD4850) KDE 4.5.3 Git commit 3b8984d630cc6dc655a171fa9c0f7e74e9ee3c61 by Martin Gr����lin. Pushed by graesslin into branch 'graesslin/kwin-cleanup'. Remove Shadow Effect. The shadow effect is known to be broken since at least 4.5. It is unfortunately in a state which makes it difficult to maintain and the architecture has some serious drawbacks. Therefore it is the best solution to replace the effect with a new and better implementation. For more information about the new implementation please see the discussion on KWin mailinglist: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=129607406517609&w=2 This also "fixes" all existing bug reports about the shadow effect. Most of the bugs will really be fixed when the new shadow system is implemented, if not it is a new bug and a new report should be created for it. Please excuse that we go this unnormal approach to mark bugs as fixed with code removal.

This until the above is implemented. |
