Since the KDE 4.8.2 upgrade, the arrow buttons in the wiget is missing. You have to scroll accross the entries.
I can confirm this bug and add that it's just a visual bug: I can press where the arrows are supposed to be and they work but they're invisible. My distro is Archlinux, using KDE version 4.9.1.
I was searching for this bug. In KDE 4.9, this bug appears to be fixed on Gentoo.
on openSUSE 4.9.2 I too experience this bug - works but not visible
This may be a qt bug.
Can confirm this with KDE 4.9.3 on Kubuntu 12.04 Icons not visible, but working. The Icons are still present as file > /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/rssnow/arrows.svgz but are not shown.
Can you try this as a new user? How about installing another widget?
Created attachment 75491 [details] A grep'd strace which illustrates that the widget uses the incorrect image files
I think I've found the problem. After a "strace -e trace=file plasmoidviewer rssnow" I'd see that it try to access to the files left.svgz and right.svgz when my installation doesn't have them but have instead an arrows.svgz file. I've attached a "grep -Hin '\.svgz'" of the strace file since the complete strace it's about 446Kb and this one is only 20kb, IMHO enough to see the problem. After that I'd take a look at the RSSNOW repository and found one commit which merges left.svgz and right.svgz into arrows.svgz _without_ modifying the code that loads this images. Link to the commit: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeplasma-addons/repository/revisions/39f506cbb10b08f4c6f8e17048deae9da87812b3 The code that loads the old non-existent images is in scroller.cpp file, lines 60 and 65. Link to the file: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeplasma-addons/repository/revisions/master/entry/applets/rssnow/scroller.cpp#L60 Sorry but I don't have any knowledge of plasmoids nor svgz file loading, therefore I can't make the needed changes, I hope a developer see this post and fix the problem. Thank you.
@ Giorgos, please take a look at this issue.
(In reply to comment #8) > I think I've found the problem. Thanks Therseus :-) Could confirm your Posting. I have copied the files left.svgz and right.svgz by extracting it from an older Package and placed it in the Folder > /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/default/rssnow/ and the arrows are where they have to be. Hopes, that Giorgios read this Bug report...
