Description Jay LaCroix 2011-12-08 23:32:33 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I am using KDE 4.7.90 on Arch Linux. When I click on the Kickoff menu, the animation starts below the panel. I took a screenshot that will better illustrate what's going on. I snapped the picture immediately after clicking the "K" icon on the bottom left of the panel to open the Kickoff menu.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on the K icon to launch Kickoff

Actual Results:  
Kickoff starts animiating belowt he panel

Expected Results:  
Kickoff has always animated just above the panel.

Same here, but it not a kickoff-only bug, all other panel widget animations are drawn from a bottom of the screen (and on top of the panel): calendar, networkmanagement, battery, notifications, etc.

See the attachment with calendar widget animation screenshot.

Reproducible: Always
