Description Pierre Fortin 2013-12-06 21:22:02 CET

Description of problem: randomly, task manager displays junk instead of proper text.  Sliding the mouse over the bad text causes it to be correctly redisplayed.

I've seen it several times, even on two tasks at the same time; but probably miss many more when not looking for it.

another example

Now that I'm looking for this bug, here's a pretty bad example.  I happened simply by switching desktops; stop moving mouse (nothing else done) as soon as I spotted it and hit PrintScr...

Yes.  Seems to be triggered by placing mouse over virtual desktop area and scrolling mouse wheel.  When task bar switches from 1 line to 2 lines or vice versa, the bug appears.  Attaching screen shots taken moments ago.

Comment 8 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-19 22:07:07 CET

I'm beginning to suspect this may be vaguely connected to bug 12101 since moving the mouse out of the virtual desktop area clears it up upon exit.

Comment 9 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-19 22:09:36 CET

In fact, just had an occurrence where the task bar (one line of tasks) was not updated with the contents of the currently selected desktop (2 lines of tasks) until the mouse was moved away.

Comment 10 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-19 22:17:50 CET

More...  if the mouse is moved anywhere within the full task bar, the junk remains; it's only when it leaves the task bar that the update occurs to correct the issue.

junk + incorrect task bar contents

Here, the task bar contents are totally incorrect...  see next attachment that appears simply by moving the mouse out of the task bar area.

correct task bar contents.

Note the difference between this image and the previous one which displays the task bar contents of a previously selected desktop.

Comment 13 Pierre Fortin 2014-01-19 22:33:18 CET

just noticed platform was incorrect -- dunno if i586 also affected.

Hardware: i586 => x86_64

Comment 14 Florian Hubold 2014-02-03 13:04:18 CET

You have two lines of windows in the task manager, that's not the default configuration. Best report that upstream at KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/ after searching if it hasn't been reported yet. From memory, there have always been quite some issues with two rows in task switcher / pager.

Also, did you try another task manager?

Closing. Task manager doesn't display this way any more...
