Any Fixes would be apprecciated since this still has not been fixed in the latest KDE release. This was also tested on a fresh installation and the problem persists.

Please check whether the rewritten version of aurorae still has the same issue in 6.6. Note that Plastik still uses the old engine.

Unfortunately the Issue persists on both a fresh install and on my regular system on 6.6. The behavior has not changed and is the same as 4 months ago.
