Bug#504405: kicker sticks up and doesn't go away

["Peter T. Breuer" <ptb@inv.it.uc3m.es>]

Package: kicker
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal


  The problem isolates to the following change in my
  ./share/config/kickerrc, which triggers it:

Expected behaviour:

The good line causes kicker to work perfectly.  It jumps up and down as
the mouse hovers over it or leaves it. Kicker is at the bottom edge of
my screen (configured to centre, bottom). Kicker is otherwise
configured to respond immediately, without delay, and to do no
animation, at max speed.

However, the good line corrresponds to a greyed out

   hiding -> Raise when the pointer touches the screen's ...

section in the graphical configuration utility. 

I also note that there is no help information corresponding to that option.
It suggests that it has been added recently and is not yet working
perfectly.



Aberrant behaviour:

The  bad line corresponds to 

   hiding -> Raise when the pointer touches the screen's  -> BOTTOM EDGE

in the graphical configuration utility. It causes kicker to stay up
after a mouseover. Kicker does not go down. Waving the mouse over and off
it, particularly near the right bottom corner, multiple times .. 20 or
30 times, eventually causes it to disappear. Just waiting does nothing,
as far as my patience can tell.

I have kicker configured to hide itself IMMEDIATELY, and to do so with
NO ANIMATION, and speed FAST (as possible).

That should enable you to find the problem.
