Description Clarence Dang 2005-02-15 12:53:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Just upgraded from CVS KDE 3.3 to 2 days after KDE 3.4 Beta 2.

I will send screenshots exemplifying this problem shortly.  One way of triggering it is to minimise Konsole, restore it and then scroll the history (with the mousewheel).  There appears to be multiple other triggers.

To "fix" it, switch to another tab and then back.

Font is set to "Medium" but reproducible with all fonts from "Normal" to "Huge".  Not reproducible with "Linux" nor "Unicode".

This is very serious as a mere KDE upgrade broke the konsole.

konsole_after.png = state at konsole_before.png followed by minimise, restore 
and then scroll.

If you are using CVS/HEAD, please update konsole again.  Just after 3.4.beta2 was released, Konsole now uses KGlobalSettings->fixedFont (set in KControl->Appearance->Font).

I tried your way of triggering it and could not reproduce.  The 2nd screenshot does indeed look bad.

Yes, my konsole is from yesterday with those fixes.  Today's CVS has the same 
problem.

The rest of my KDE is 3.4beta2 + 2 days.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Comment 4 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-02-17 17:34:24 UTC

Is it reproduceable when you pick a Custom font?
If you could find another way to reproduce this, it would be helpful.

What distribution are you using?

Comment 5 Clarence Dang 2005-07-17 11:59:49 UTC

I apologise for the late reply.

Unfortunately, I have since totally changed my distro.  The distro was Mandrake 9.0 (2002!) which had problems antialising in recent KDE builds.

As no one else seems to have experienced this bug, it was an old and buggy distro and I don't have the setup to reproduce anymore, I suggest closing this report.

Per reporter.
