Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Eike, once again I apologize, but I wanted to run this past you. It seems GNOME users are seeing some text rendering issues. If you have heard anything or maybe someone else has witnessed, here is another one. The original report is located at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yakuake/+bug/264176
Please note that the terminal area in Yakuake is provided by the Konsole KPart component, and that Yakuake exerts no influence over text rendering in its terminals. That said, the Konsole technology has seen some text rendering issues over the past year. I am aware of a problem with older nVidia binary drivers and Qt 4 scrollviews in windows with an ARGB visual (Yakuake uses an ARGB visual if one is available and a composition manager is running). This should be fixed with the current stable releases on all of the nVidia driver branches for several months now, however. Another problem came up in Konsole due to Qt 4.4: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169143#c4 http://kdemonkey.blogspot.com/2008/08/konsole-scrolling-weirdness.html I'm unsure of the status of this one, but my impression was that it had been fixed in Qt. Perhaps you should inquire with Robert to be sure, however. Other than that, nothing comes to mind at the moment, sorry.
Can't reproduce the problem, and the report on launchpad has been silent for long time. Close it.
