Description David Johnson 2008-12-17 05:27:34 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Plasma tooltips can create "holes" in application windows. Need to force redraw on window to remove it. Screenshot attached. This is on Radeon X1300 and fglrx driver.

To reproduce.
1) Put analog clock in upper left desktop, digital clock on panel.
2) Place application next to it.
3) Hover over clock until tooltip pops up. Note location of tooltip.
4) Hover over panel digital clock until tooltip pops up.
5) There is now a hole in the application next to the analog clock, matching location to the analog clock's tooltip.

"that is a long standing bug in x.org"

So fix x.org yourself or work around it, go back to what worked right,
or quit the project.
It's a stupid non-response.

You are being needlessly rude.  Although I don't enjoy having this bug around, I'm also aware that fixing bugs is very hard and that, as it is, we are getting a great DE (IMHO, the best DE ever) for absolutely nothing in return.  You aren't anyone's boss nor you have spent money on anything.  Therefore, please do shut up.  If it's so easy to fix this bug then just do it.  If you are incapable of doing that (which makes your complaint and it's tone idiotic) and you still find this bug to be so annoying then simply stop using KDE.  Either way, don't be unpleasant and try to show at least some respect.

(In reply to comment #16)

tworoadsconverged, you can prevent the bug from appearing by adding the following to the end of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and reboot:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

You won't be able to use compositing of course, but if you ever want to enable compositing, simply edit the "Disable" to "Enable" and reboot.
Comment 20 tworoadsconverged 2010-02-20 17:18:20 UTC
You're too kind.
I'm sure someone else will use this.
Thank you.

You're right.
I've regretted my ill-tempered post every day since.
I apologize sincerely to all concerned.
KDE is the greatest, even when I'm not.
Comment 23 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-03-03 18:34:07 UTC
thanks; we all have bad days and say/do things we later wish we hadn't. but the real measure of the people in a community is their ability to come back together after those inevitable events to repair bridges that have burnt and strengthen the bonds between them. i really appreciate you coming back and giving us a sign of life so that we aren't just left with something negative at the end of it all.

despite all the bumps and bruises that do happen, there is a lot more in posities to this community and you just proved that. it's why i personally stay involved with KDE.

cheers ...
