Description Gregor Kappler 2009-08-05 15:47:53 UTC
Version:           4.3.0-0ubuntu1~jaunty1~ppa4 (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I love the BII decoration for the tabbing functionality it provides.

Yet, the maximize button is often not working when the window title has changed.
As a workaround I can move the title with drag and drop while holding shift. The title bar then gets updated and its width adjusted.

This woraround is nevertheless a little tedious and it would be wonderful to have the minimize/maximize buttons reacting when clicked. So the buttons could reside on top of the part of the title that is actually shown.

Another solution may be to simply update the title bar width being automatically when the title changes  - but sometimes this may produce unwanted hiding of title bar tabs...

Thanks for this great window decoration!

Confirmerd on Arch64, Vanilla KDE4.3.1

Unfocusing the window and refocusing the window causes the windows decoration to be redrawn/updated.  Please fix.

Still present in 4.3.2

The bug seems to be present only when using the composite manager and shadows.
Without shadows the BII decoration works fine.

Oops, spoke too fast. The bug is still there, just less visible.

BII is no longer provided, thus I'm adjusting the bug report to WONTFIX.
