Broken corners

See attached screenshot taken in the Plasma Wayland session at 200% scale (after clearing the cache, natch). The corners are broken except for the top-left one.

Let's try to avoid shipping this to users, since it seems to be master-only at this point.

Broken corners

Found this after updating to Frameworks 5.83.0, only dark theme is affected. All Plasma widgets with rounded corners have this problem, it's clearly visible on a dark background.
Comment 4 popov895 2021-06-18 13:48:03 UTC
Disabling "Background contrast" effect solves this issue, but also disables adaptive transparency.

only brulbehind effect visible

in this screenshot, i disabled in Dialog all the rendering, the only thing that gets rendered is the blurbehind/contrast kwin effects.

you can see that on on there only the top left corner is rounded, while the others not, which cause the problem.
i suspect that the mask gets scaled 2x by kwin, having the final result scaled 4x instead.


same thing happens for the shadows themselves, so they always look slightly more pixelated than needed

Comment 15 S. Christian Collins 2021-10-18 04:14:05 UTC
Disabling the "Background contrast" effect per comment #4 doesn't really solve the issue, but does make it less noticeable.

Comment 17 David 2021-10-20 16:21:39 UTC
Not sure if it's the same issue, but from bug 444069, for me they only show glitched corners when the active app is something with media playing capabilities, such as VLC or web browsers, and that's regardless of whether the corners touch those apps or not.

Also for me this happens in X11 without scaling.

Third Party Theme

This issue seems to be specific to the Breeze plasma theme, third party themes like https://store.kde.org/p/1368860 do no have issues with the corners.

Git commit 9ba4ed4da72a3d1bbec8920d93a547cf633cfacd by Marco Martin.
Committed on 10/11/2021 at 15:26.
Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

smaller mask to hide glitches

This makes the mask slightly maller than the frame. Since the svg will have antialiasing and the mask not,
there will be artifacts at the corners, if they go under the svg they're less evident

Thanks Marco I tried it on my KDE Neon Git distro on Breeze Dark theme and it works flawless thanks for the fix.

The fix for this was included in Frameworks 5.89. If it still occurs with that or a more recent version then please reopen this.

I still see broken corners on my panels (Breeze dark, Wayland). Screenshots attached.

Comment 30 Nate Graham 2022-01-20 20:25:54 UTC
Indeed, Marco's fix was a workaround that only works with some combinations of plasma themes and color schemes, not a true final fix.

I've tried building and installing https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/522, but it didn't make a difference. Is that supposed to fix the issue?
Comment 40 Niccolò Venerandi 2022-06-15 18:03:56 UTC
That MR is currently not fixing the bug as intended; there's a suggestion from Nate in the MR that actually works for that specific bug, however I have not updated the MR as d_ed already said that it would not be the correct way to approach the issue. 

That said, this bug here is not caused just by the scaling issue that's being fixed in that MR; as an example, if you have this bug in the top left corner of your dialog/window/anything, it means it's unrelated to that MR.

OK, thanks for the answer.

Oops, just saw bug 417511. Panel issue is separate from this one. Closing this.
Comment 49 Jan Rathmann 2022-10-19 06:23:29 UTC
I can confirm that the Plasma update to 5.26.1 fixes the bug for me on my dark panels :)
Comment 50 Timothy B 2023-06-03 14:29:44 UTC
It's still happening for me randomly but it's very inconsistent to reproduce. Every night I would turn off my monitor and leave the computer running, and the next day I would see broken corners on all Plasma tooltips, popouts, and OSDs after turning on the monitor as if the fixes never existed. It would go away after I run `rm -rf ~/.cache/plasma*` in the terminal and then restart plasmashell and/or KWin, but then again the broken corners come back after a few days.

Comment 51 Nate Graham 2023-06-06 16:20:58 UTC
Timothy, there's a very good chance the issue you're experiencing is caused by a different specific root cause, even if the outward symptoms look and feel the same. Can you please submit a new bug report? Thank you!
