Description Jarkko Haapalainen 2003-12-16 08:25:01 UTC

I have installed newest kde 3.2 beta2 and when pressing ctrl+esc key combination under mozilla or acroread (adobe acrobat reader). It opens hundreds of ksysguard processes and for minute or too system is completely halted (memory full..).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE 3.2 beta 2 session
2. Open Mozilla browser or Acrobat Reader
3. Press CTRL+ESC

Actual Results:  
System goes slow and minute or so system is completely useless, have to press
power button.

Expected Results:  
Open the "ksysguard" program.

Comment 1 Jarkko Haapalainen 2003-12-17 04:36:19 UTC

Changed to ck-sources and now problem is gone, tested with 2.6.0-test11 kernel too and no problemo. Maybe it was aa-sources issue.

sounds like a kernel issue.
