Bug 50311: Menu shadow not transparent
Version: unknown (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler: gcc version 3.2
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19
If I open a menu with shadows on it looks fine. If I move the mouse left (eg, from settings to tools in konqueror) then the shadow will lose its transparency. If I continue moving left it does this for every menu. However if I move the mouse from left to right through the menu's then the shadow remains transparent.
I can send you a screenshot of the oddity if you like.
[this is the exact bug I get]

No, it happens on every system I have KDE on, you really notice the difference if you select text while making the screen scroll at the same time - especially anti-alised text.

Yes I'm sure. I even clicked on the "about KDE" button conveniently located in the menu of every KDE program in existence. It said "KDE 3.1"

Actually it was the TTF font Arial.

Trouble is, when I click somewhere else it does exactly as I said - leaves an ugly partial drawing artifact behind of the selection box.
KDE has just always sucked for me! If it's my fault, I'm sorry. What distribution are you using?
solo:
slackware 8.1 (well, at least calix is based on slack 8.1)
as for the menu shadow bug, that is jsut the menu transparency bug! when you move left, you are seeing the crud left from the other menu under the shadow, but when you move right, there is no crud because there was never a menu there!
whoever sent in that bug shouldve looked closer
selecting really works pretty good for me, i think i see what your saying, it is slower than mozilla, but its really not that slow.
slave:
I see. Well they certainly should fix that transparency bug since it not only affects transparency effects but also menu shadows!
solo:
maybe i should get into kde development. seriously, this stuff cant be hard to fix!
