Bad first display of panels

Mon May 09, 2011 10:04 pm
Hi! this is my first post, tell me if I did anything wrong.

Well, every time i resize a panel or open one or sometimes opening a plasmoid, a white box with a black stripe takes it's place and then the plasmoid is show.
For example:
When opening the add new plasmoid planel or when clicking the cashew:

Or when resizing the panel:

What could cause it? Thanks :D

if you disable desktop effects does it still happen?

if you change your desktop theme does it still happen?

if you create and login as a new user does it still happen?

Yes, but less since the panel draws faster.

I tried Oxygen and it also suffers from this problem.

Interesting - when I expand the size of my panel I too see some white, don't remember seeing this in earlier versions (but I never expand my panel) so it might be a regression. The white I experience is much smaller that what you show and does not appear if I turn composting (desktop effects) off.

This might be related to Kwin and/or your graphics system (card and drivers)

Maybe you dont see that much white because your system might be much faster than mine.

A driver or graphics card problem could be the cause of it.. This a screenshot of kinfocenter in the opengl page:

An here one of the Xorg page:

Is there anything there that could be the problem?

Thanks ;D

I have separate graphics card and thus faster than you which is why I see less white.

are you running the latest drivers? http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermai ... 59455.html


I reported a bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272975

Hi!

I just have installed the update and it doesnt fix this issue..

I ran 'konsole --notransparency --nofork' as the bug report says, and while on normal konsole the same problems shows, it doesn't when using those parameters..

Shall we continue on the bug report?
