[Bug 380742] New: [KDE4] several select-dropdown widgets broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380742 Summary: [KDE4] several select-dropdown widgets broken Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: funtasyspace@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I noticed that the following select dropdown widgets in KDE4 are broken: - 'Digital Clock' plasmoid -> Settings -> 'Select the font for the time'-widget - Workspace/Desktop settings -> 'Select the background picture'-widget - Workspace/Desktop settings -> 'Select the plasma theme'-widget The dropdown list of all those select widgets only stays there if you keep on holding down the left mouse button. But this way, you can't scroll the select options list. Maybe there are more dropdown/select widgets with this problem on KDE4. I just discovered those three until now. -- 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.

If I click on the select box widget the first time, the drop-down list vanishes as soon as I release the left mouse button. But clicking on it a 2nd time, 3rd time, 4th time... or sometimes just after the 20th time, at some point the drop down list stays there when I release the mouse button. But as far as I can tell, this is not deterministic. I tried this several times now. Again, it's not all select boxes I experience this strange behavior with. So far I only discovered it only with the both I described in the initial comment. -- 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.

The only thing that would show the problem would be a screencast... I'll see if I can record one. -- 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.

Seems like the ffmpeg in the videolan repository is not compiled with '--enable-x11grab'. But I figured out something else. After a fresh 11.0 Beta1 install no wallpaper packages were installed on my system. When I tried the Workspace/Desktop settings -> 'Select the background picture'-widget the drop-down list stayed there, after I released the left mouse button. At first I thought this bug is gone now, but then I thought it might be because this widget doesn't need to render a scrollbar for the drop-down list at the moment. There were only 8 wallpapers listed, so there was no need for a scrollbar on my resolution. Next I installed the kdebase4-wallpapers package which adds a lot more wallpapers and tried this widget again. Now it needs to render the scrollbar for its drop-down list and the bug is there again. The drop-down list is only shown as long as I hold the left mouse button pushed down. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380742 User funtasyspace@yahoo.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380742#c11 --- Comment #11 from Jörg Hermsdorf <funtasyspace@yahoo.com> 2008-04-22 04:41:18 MST --- I recorded a screencast with recordmydesktop and uploaded the file to: http://drop.io/kde4_selectbox_bug (the filename is out.ogg) Here's a protocol of what actions I do in this screencast: 00:20 - 00:40 I first try the wallpaper selection widget with no additional wallpapers installed. You can see how it works fine. I release the mouse button and it stays there open. 00:40 - 01:25 Next you can see how I install the kdebase4-wallpapers package via YaST. 01:25 - 01:33 Now you have to look very carefully, the first click I try to click on the selection widget you can see how the dropdown box is visible for half a second or so. 01:35 - 01:50 The following clicks I do on that selection box are not recognizeable as such in the screencast. It looks like the mouse cursor just rests there. I think this is due to the lower framerate the screencast is recorded with. In reality, I did 10 clicks or so and often a fraction of the drop-down list was rendered for 0,1 seconds or so. 01:50 - At this point, I keep the left mouse button pushed down, so you can see this drop down list a bit longer. Later I just release the mouse button after I moved it over the drop down list. 02:29 - 02:34 At this point I moved the cursor over the scrollbar, while still holding down LMB. This allows me to scroll the list using the scrollbar. 02:50 At this point I uninstall the kdebase4-wallpapers package again. 03:30 The select box widget works as expected again. 03:45
From this point on, I do some test with the font selection box of the digital clock plasmoid configuration dialog. Which shows the same failures.
--------- Maybe you can also get someone with a Lenovo T60p ThinkPad using Beta1 and the radeonhd driver (just a default Beta1 installation using KDE4 as desktop). I know that some guys of you at Novell have this notebook.

By running KDE 4.1 using the fglrx driver instead of the radeonhd driver I also experience this bug.
