Comment 1 André DESMOTTES 2016-05-24 10:36:45 CEST

Still valid with Mageia-6-sta1-x86_64-DVD from May 20

Comment 2 André DESMOTTES 2016-06-26 22:19:09 CEST

Somebody on MLO forum found out a workaround.
Open the /home/user/.config/kwinrc file and in the [Compositing] part, set the "Enable" entry to "false".

Comment 3 David Walser 2016-07-29 16:35:26 CEST

I can confirm this.  The reason I was adding a Panel, is because after the upgrade from Mageia 5, all I had was an empty panel.  Once I removed that one, a regular default panel appeared in the same position (bottom of the screen).

Comment 4 David Walser 2016-08-10 00:30:27 CEST

I don't experience this anymore in current Cauldron.  Should be OK on the next ISOs.

FYI, it works fine on Linux Mint 18

Comment 11 Nicolas Lécureuil 2017-02-26 10:52:11 CET

Yes but plasma 5.6 if if i read correctly, so maybe a regression upstream regarding this.
