Comment 2 Thomas Lübking 2012-05-12 20:30:06 UTC

sounds a bit like bug #299869
can you "kcmshell4 kwincompositing" and uncheck opengl2 shaders in the 3rd tab?
does the issue remain afterwards?

Comment 3 Meconio 2012-05-13 16:32:03 UTC

Yes, i have tried now your suggestion. Nothing is changed.

This option conflicts.

If you enable "Start animation when move windows to edge" in "Desktop effects" but you don't enable Change desktop on screen edge from another panel the animation stops in the middle.

I've kde in italian the section name probably isn't correct in english i hope screenshot help you.
