Description Chani 2005-10-10 21:25:24 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

this is one of those little tiny bugs that slowly drives you insane.
if I shade a window, about half the time I unshade it (or just temporarily unshade it by moving my mouse over it) the height will be screwed up- it becomes as small as possible (around 100 or 200 pixels). width isn't affected. once it screws up I have to drag it back to the proper size myself.

it's not behaving consistently, though. some windows almost never get messed up- kgoldrunner, konsole and firefox are usually fine. I used to have one konq window that was never affected, but it's gone now, and all of them screw up about a third of the time (naturally they refuse to do so at all when I try to reproduce it for this bug report). kopete windows, however, get screwed up about 90% of the time.

this problem showed up a few months ago when I switched to ~x86 packages- I think it was kde 3.4.0 or .1 then. I have windows set to shade on double-click, the animate & hover things enabled so they temp-unshade when my mouse goes over them, and focus is set to follow the mouse.

aha! konq decided to screw up while I was looking at the control centre. and so did everything shaded except kgoldrunner. I notice something odd- the kopete and konq windows seem to end at almost the exact same pixel, even though the kopete window starts about the height of the titlebar lower. also, a second konq window below them is messed up but a lot taller than usual- maybe 250 pixels. I think I'll take a screenshot.

note all the long thin windows that used to be normal. this happened when I was
fiddling with the control center- normally they won't go all at once like this.
and kgoldrunner was still unaffected.
