Bug 121270 – Black background on Konqueror on kde-3.5.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Ernst de Haan 2006-02-02 01:17:11 UTC]

After upgrading from KDE 3.5.0 to 3.5.1, the backgrounds of Konqueror windows are now suddenly black instead of white. See the screenshot.

I've changed the text color to blue in the Konqueror preferences so I can see the text. But the background color is not a setting in the Konqueror preferences dialog.

Hi,
I've upgraded to kde 3.5.1 too and I can't confirm this behaviour.
If you havn't allready, you can try to start kde from a fresh user account to see if any of the config files in ~ are messed up.

Ernst, are you using some experimental xrender exitension by chance? Can't reproduce the problem either.

[Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-05-07 11:22:22 UTC]

Without feedback we can't do anything for you.
