Setting a bookmark pops up a small notification button near the bottom right of the screen -- "Mark set: a" That notification button never disappears, and when I scroll the screen it leaves a trail of copies smeared across the screen. Just noticed this: on my regular x-windows system, the button and the smeared copies do eventually fade and disappear; on my remote x-windows system, the button and the smeared copies never disappear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a file longer than a single screen 2. Create a bookmark (ctrl-b) 3. Scroll the window Actual Results: "Mark set:" notifier appears When the window is scrolled, the button smears multiple copies up/down the screen Expected Results: "Mark set" notifier disappears quickly and does not spam the screen, Ideally for me, the "Mark set" notifier could be disabled completely. There is already a color change to the line that is being bookmarked which is plenty of notification that the bookmark has been made.
The notification now only appears when vi mode is on, otherwise it doesn't make sense. The actual bug is still valid, though.
The graphics issue is a driver problem, we can't fix that in kate. That they are shown in non-vi mode is fixed now, thanks to Sven, more we can't do.
Finally we found a proper fix for this, with KTextEditor in upcoming KDE Frameworks 5.24 release. Sorry for the inconvenience. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 363220 ***
