Bug#639845: pixel garbage when opening context menus in KDE or Qt applications
Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.6.5-2
Severity: normal
The bug appeared recently (without details) in the testing branch.
Right-clicking on applications to open context menus causes the zone of the
context menu to be shortly a "pixel garbage" before clearing to the normal and
effective menu.
It occurs also after clicking the logout/shutdown button all around the
confirmation window and could occurs in the K-Menu.
It seems that this bug only happens with QT based applications because it can
be noticed with KDE apps and VLC but not with Iceweasel.
The bug has been shortly discussed on debian-user list :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/08/msg01276.html
From the original poster the bug appears on both Radeon and Geforce hardware
with both open and closed source driver.
I can't reproduce the bug with a LiveCD whatever the desktop environment I
used (Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE) but the LiveCD is based on Ubuntu.
It's hard to choose what package the bug report should be filed against, so
feel free to reassign it or ask more infos.
My config: Debian wheezy 32bits up to date with KDE, no compositing, all effects
disabled, xserver-xorg-video-radeon is the only driver installed.
