The menu of the KDEµBlog-widget-textinput-area are

see attached screenshot.

What widget style are you using? How can the bug be exactly reproduced? It looks that you've set the transparency on popup menu, so it is not a bug.
Comment 3 M G Berberich 2009-09-20 15:30:18 UTC
I have transparency disabled in the “all-effects” tab. This does not seem to affect the KDEµBlog-widget. I'm using “Oxygen”, the workspace-design is “Air” (both are default).

The main problem – as you can see in the screenshot – is, that the text of the widget below the popup-menu is drawn atop the popup-menu. (The text of the tweets is black even they are behind the popup.)

There is something fundamentaly wrong with the rendering.

This is not a transparency problem: it looks like plasma elements are painted over the popup menu. Just try to place another plamoid near the KDEµBlog: when you open the popup, even the other plasmoid bill be drawn over the popup.

The bug is reproducible in current trunk.
