Description Hoang Duc Hieu 2012-06-07 14:19:43 UTC
With Qt graphics system set to Native, WGeometry's boxes are solid black with black text and unrounded semi-transparent border. The boxes still resize when their text's width changes.

With Raster, the text, background, and corners are the same as in 4.8.

Hardware: radeon 6310 with mesa 8.0.3 r600g.
KDE 4.8.80 from ArchLinux's kde-unstable repo.

This affects all unstyled effectframes and ois regardless of the GPU
(seems unrelated to bug #301068)

I'm tempted to say it's the same bug as it affects all EffectFrames.

Maybe we should go for raster only with OpenGL as a solution?

The other bug seems intel specific (doesn't happen on nvidia) and was "fixed" here by omitting the  glXCreatePixmap target type.
This one happens on both, intel & nvidia, and is not impressed by the mentioned (local) "fix"

If we cannot fix this for 4.9 final we should strongly advise it (like native for xrender - it's still possible to configure the raster system, it's just avoided ;-)

The other one is reproducable on my ATI. I have not yet tested the "fix"

Sorry, wrong bug, meant to be #296289.
Comment 7 Thomas Lübking 2012-06-17 20:14:15 UTC
as martin suggested and given our later figured reason behind it, this actually /is/ very most likely bug #296289
Comment 8 Thomas Lübking 2012-08-25 04:57:18 UTC
Did this issue get fixed with bug #296289 ?
Comment 9 Janek Bevendorff 2012-08-25 09:09:27 UTC
At least I don't have this issue anymore. Neither with Compositing type 
being set to Native nor with Raster.
Using KDE SC 4.9.0.
Comment 10 Thomas Lübking 2012-08-26 10:04:45 UTC
Closing as most likely dupe.
Please call back if this is still an issue in 4.9.0 or up
