Bug 261845 – kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.2.* crash and widgets became transparent

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ludovic Fauvet 2009-03-09 11:12:13 UTC]

From time to time, mostly when I unlock my screen (but not limited to) plasma crash and all widgets (task bar, icons and plasmoids) became transparent. They disappear completely when the mouse move over.
This problem occurs with x11-libs/qt-4.4.2 as well as x11-libs/qt-4.5.0.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Created attachment 184439 [details]
Screenshot that describe the problem.

The only way I've found to continue my work without restarting the session was to open the task manager, kill plasma and launch plasma trough krunner.

[Comment 3 Maciej Mrozowski 2009-08-06 00:46:34 UTC]

I confirm this one (with much more severe screen corruption though), definitely happened several times I used KDE 4.2.

[Comment 4 Maciej Mrozowski 2009-08-20 21:38:08 UTC]

Please try with the most recent KDE - 4.3.0 - for me this issue seems to be gone.

[Comment 5 Ludovic Fauvet 2009-08-20 21:41:00 UTC]

Confirmed, no more problem in kde 4.3

[Comment 6 Alex Alexander (RETIRED) 2009-08-20 23:35:29 UTC]

seems to be fixed in 4.3.0, closing :)
