Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.93) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux When you hover the mouse over a file icon in Konqueror, a file tip pops up. The tip can disappear in two ways: * The mouse leaves the bounding box of the file icon * The mouse enters the bounding box of the tip In the first case, the file tip disappears smoothly, no flicker. In the second case, all icons in the konqueror window are redrawn, which causes flicker.
Additional note: The problem only happens when you have 'focus follows mouse' enabled. It seems that touching the popup window triggers mouse enter/exit signals for the main konqueror window, which results in repaints.
I made a commit fixing ksqueezedlabel early this week. As a side effect this bug has been fixed too (it was a wasted repaint when loosing/gaining back focus after hovering some icons with the mouse).
