Package: kde-base
Severity: normal
File: kde
I run KDE with the taskbar set to auto-hide. In this situation, certain apps, when
run full-screen, do not get mouse events when I click in their window near the bottom
edge of the screen.
One Debian-standard app that illustrates this problem is xev. I can launch that, and set
its window to fullscreen via the Alt-F3 menu. If the KDE taskbar is set to always
visible, it is still covered up by the xev window, and I can click close to the bottom
of that and get event messages like this:
ButtonPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x1ad, subw 0x0, time 731121555, (6,1016), root:(6,1016),
state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES
However, if the KDE taskbar is set to auto-hide, such clicks do not cause event reports.
Clicks in other areas of the screen still work. Also if I maximize the window as opposed
to making it fullscreen, the clicks work.
I first noticed this problem with my builds of Blender 2.5x beta. Oddly, the Debian-packaged
2.49b version of Blender works fine. So I originally thought this was a Blender bug, but
that doesn't explain why xev, which is about as simple an app for responding to X11 events
as you can get, exhibits the same problem.
