Description George R. Goffe 2017-04-15 02:11:16 UTC

Reported also as Fedora Bug 1438439 (bugzilla.redhat.com). See that bug for more details.

Fully maximized Konsole is misbehaving. If only 3-4 lines are displayed at the top, the text is dim, more lines and the display is "normal" intensity.

This problem appears to be widget size dependent.

As they asked for as well, a screenshot would be great either there or here

Kurt,

Thank you for taking your time to answer this bug report.

Apparently screenshot via shift-prnt-scrn is broken. The tool that Rex suggested that I use does not appear to be able to capture the problem.

Are you unable to create the problem?

I see this problem with two separate actions.

#1) fully maximize the Konsole widget via the up arrow (^); clear the screen (clear cmd), the widget should darken... add 3 or more lines (ls). Screen returns from dimness.

#2) make a Konsole, fully maximize it vertically (this is important) move it to far right or far left to get enough room to show the problem when you grab the left/right border and start to drag it to the left/right. The widget doesn't need to occupy the full screen for the dimness to happen... about 7/8ths of the screen will work.

For some reason, the whole screen dims but when the grab is released everything returns to normal but the Konsole stays dim until there are 3 or more output lines at the top. Adding more lines reverses the dimness.

Really odd bug!

George...

Well I'm at a lost here.  I've never heard of this before and can't recreate.  ksnapshot should work or maybe even a small video

This sounds like a driver issue. Disable compositing via Alt+Shift+F12 to verify.

Comment 5 George R. Goffe 2017-04-22 02:34:58 UTC

Christopf,

Alt+Shift+F12 did nothing to change the behavior.

Any thoughts as to what I should do?

Regards,

George...

George is this issue still occurring for you? I'm unable to reproduce it on konsole from git master.

Comment 7 George R. Goffe 2020-11-08 20:18:05 UTC

Justin,

Thanks for responding...

I haven't seen this bug in several years. Sigh.

Close it please.

Thanks,

George...
