Whenever a dialogue box should close - from all applications - it disappears then rapidly re-appears again. The only way to close these boxes is to switch from compositing to non-compositing (ie Alt-Shift-F12). The dialogue box does not reappear when switching back again, but the panel sometimes will toggle (on Alt-Shift-F12) between two versions, with closed applications still shown (but the taskbar entry is unresponsive). If the machine has been suspended the two panel versions will show different times. kde version is 5.75(5)^t(02:58:11 09/22/16), with USE flags: calendar handbook -debug -geolocation -gps -prison -qalculate -test xorg-server version is 1.18.4(10:34:00 08/29/16) with USE flags glamor suid udev xorg -dmx -doc -ipv6 -kdrive -libressl -minimal -selinux -static-libs -systemd -tslib -unwind -wayland -xephyr -xnest -xvfb nvidia drivers 370.28(0/370)^md(00:45:37 09/22/16) with USE flags: X acpi driver kms multilib tools uvm -compat -gtk3 -pax_kernel -static-libs -wayland KERNEL="linux -FreeBSD" Video card is nVidia GF119 [GeForce GT 610] [Compositing] section of ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc is: AnimationSpeed=3 Backend=OpenGL Enabled=false GLColorCorrection=false GLCore=true GLLegacy=false GLPreferBufferSwap=a GLTextureFilter=1 GLVSync=true GraphicsSystem=native HiddenPreviews=5 OpenGLIsUnsafe=false UnredirectFullscreen=false XRenderSmoothScale=false Tried changing OpenGLIsUnsafe=false to OpenGLIsUnsafe=true but no change.

Can you try whether disabling the translucency effect fixes the issue?
Disabling translucency initially stopped the persistent dialogue box only once, then the problem re-appeared, however windows were still translucent when moved - although the "translucency" checkbox was not shown as selected in System Settings. Disabling translucency, logging out and restarting the X server does solve the problem, and windows aren't translucent when moved.
great! Can you please tell me which config options you had set in the translucency effect? My thinking is that there is one change in the settings which triggers it.
The settings I have are: Set menu translucency independently: Not checked Inactive windows: 100% Opaque Moving windows: 60% Opaque Dialogs: 90% Opaque Combobox popups: 90% Opaque Menus: 100% Opaque Thanks for your help!
> Dialogs: 90% Opaque > Combobox popups: 90% Opaque That might be the culprit which triggers it.
(In reply to Martin Gräßlin from comment #7) > > Dialogs: 90% Opaque > > Combobox popups: 90% Opaque > > That might be the culprit which triggers it. It looks like that's it; setting them both to 100% solves the issue with translucency on and the other settings as before... Thanks!
