Description Wiktor 2011-08-11 12:56:27 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When using KDE for couple of hours sometimes appear „ghost” windows. Free space with size of normal elements near other elements. I don't know how to reproduce this or if this is a specific application that causes this problem. I've fresh installation of KDE from meta-packages. These „ghost” elements are sometimes between other elements, sometimes at start (don't know if in the end of elements list, because it's invisible (if it's on start then I can see that something is wrong, because all elements are moved right).

I'm Using 64bit Arch.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Just using KDE.

Actual Results:  
From time to time appear a new „ghost” element. Today I've got two!

Expected Results:  
There should be only real elements.

When I try to r‐click on this free space, I get only Plasma panel options, no kind of specific window options, so I can't check if there should be concrete element.

Now I checked for other bug where rows are messed (show more rows than set in option) and I saw, that many people with that bug has also „ghost” elements. Check this screen-shots: http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=62595 http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=61610 http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=62595 . Maybe is the same bug which messes whole taskbar (rows and „ghosts”)?

And those bug(s) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278891 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224447

I just didn't know that those bugs could be the same problem.
