I'm testing the Neon 5 ISO released on 29th August 2014.

If you open System settings>Desktop Behaviour and go straight to the Activities page, the first tab 'Privacy' is shown at first and it displays correctly (see the attached screenshot) but if you look at any other page within System settings>Desktop Behaviour first (including the other tab within the Activities page), then switch to the Privacy tab of the Activities page only the top 1/3 or so of that tab content displays correctly, the bottom 2/3 that should appear as a solid grey area continues to display whatever it displayed before switching to the Activities>Privacy tab (see the second attached screenshot). It's the same in both Breeze and Oxygen themes.

I've marked it as 'Happens sometimes' but i've found it happens about 80% of the time but now and again it doesn't. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Fun :)

I can not reproduce the issue.

Does it also happen with the oxygen widget style?

Ivan - I forgot to mention that i'm using the Neon 5 ISO from a live USB.

I've tried with both Oxygen and Breeze and they are both faulty (i changed themes in System settings>Workspace theme>Look & feel). I've just attached a third screenshot that shows what happened when the whole System settings window is resized when the privacy tab is faulty.

I've installed Neon in VBox. And I am getting some repaint issues in a few different places in the system settings (although, not yet in the 'privacy' tab - there I only get slow repaints, but they do get painted properly).

Unfortunately, not much that I can do here. Will try to hack around to see whether the painting could be forced/improved.

Is this still happening?

Comment 8 ken taylor 2015-05-04 07:36:04 UTC

No, it's perfect now - thanks!

Comment 9 Ivan Čukić 2015-05-04 07:54:36 UTC

Awesome, no need to thank me, I guess Qt people fixed it :)
