Changing from a default type desktop to a search launch fails when apps are minimised and the newly opened apps will be in focus, however its transparency is 80% rather than being NIL for the window in focus. We see when we have two search and launch desktops and opening and closing and minimising applications Hi Scott, could you attach a screenshot of the issue?

The 13.1 install I did was on 2 x production X_64 PC's that has no issues with 12.3 with default video card support drivers or with nvida specific video drivers. Thank God for my complete backup server X_64 PC....:-) My offline X_64 is being used to unravel this loony /boot/efi FAT issue with install in 12.3 and 13.1 and the partitioner I have on needinfo from Arvin https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829834 Give me a few weeks to get that out of the way and I'll load the 13.1 issue.. If you set a native X_64 desktop where the pager setting is for a different widgets for each desktop then change to default search and launch then just minimise and open new app on any desktop....then swap focus between minimised app it should appear.......anyway I'll get you screen shot once the above bug is cleared...cheers :-) Leaving on needinfo -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While we waiting, do you know which plasma theme are you using, and did you noticed any difference with different ones? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Only default kde plasma screen..I simply changed the desktop to the default search and launch list. Seems to be bringing a window that was out of focus, back into focus when the desktop is already using transparency as in default search and launch. The install could not have been more vanilla otherwise would have set to low priority...hence my alarm -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can't provide any logs I am sorry and the resolution and subsequent problems addressed in upstream bug 850056 are the root causes of the many bugs it addresses. My opinion is that v13.1 as it stands should just be expunged -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
